About the Flag of Cariri do Tocantins

Green over blue horizontal bicolor, a white central disk bearing the arms.

No official website found. There existed one at http://www.prefeituracariri.com.br but it is no longer active.

The municipality of Cariri do Tocantins (3,754 inhabitants in 2010; 112,860 ha) is located in southwestern Tocantins.

Cariri do Tocantins was founded in the 1950s; the seniority of the settlement of the place is disputed among the Neponoceno and Ponciano families. The municipality of Cariri do Tocantins was established by Law No. 251 of 20 February 1991, seceding from Gurupi.

Photos of the flag in official use indicate that the real flag has a narrower white border than on the images:

This variant was done from a photograph of the flag (the link is unfortunately lost).

The source for the this variant must be a small photo of a flag seemingly darkened at http://www.norteconcursos.com.br/concursos/471/cariri-do-tocantins-orientador-e-professores-11-vagas-27-07-a-27-08-2012.
