About the flag

National-Identitarian Force (Fuerza Nacional-Identitaria) appeared in early 2013. Modeled after the Identitarian movements from Europe and North America, it seeks to gather Chileans of European origin into a separate Creole (Criollo) ethnicity. [1] Its flag [2] is blue, charged with a white "Creole hook" ("Gancho Criollo") - monogram "NI," letter "I" being in the shape of a hammer. The letters stand for Nation (Nación) and Identity (Identidad) respectively, while the hammer, as an object with both creative and destructive potentials, represents "the objectives of ethnogenesis and ethnic resistance in the mission of National-Identitarian Force for Creole ethnic survival." [2] Blue and white colors symbolize the Creole would-be ethnicity, as they also appear on the "Creole ethnic flag," [2] which was also created by the movement. Naming the emblem a "hook" reveals that it is actually a modification of the wolf-hook (Wolfsangel), while its explanation as a monogram suggests influence from Ukraine, where a wolf-hook, explained as the same two letters, was used by the Social-National Party of Ukraine and the Patriot of Ukraine. Further influence from Ukraine may have come from the Ukrainian National Labor Party whose flag had further modified the Social-Nationalist monogram by replacing the "I" with a "T" shaped like a hammer. Regarding the shade of blue, while the flag presentation [2] shows an extremely dark shade, the photos currently available online [3-7] reveal that there seems to be some variation, the shade from the national flag of Chile possibly used more. It shall also be noted that the emblem is centered horizontally, but set closer to the top edge as well.

While the flag is currently rather oblong, its original shape was square, with the emblem being centered both horizontally and vertically. [8-11] Some copies of the flag may have stayed in use until the 2020s. [12]

Creole ethnic flag

image by Tomislav Todorovic, 11 March 2023

The "Creole ethnic flag", also created by the National-Identitarian Force, displays a white Nordic-type cross on a blue field. [1] The explanation of the design is as follows [1]:

"Blue: Represents the sky, the vertical, the Divinity.

"White: Represents the Creole ethnic identity in its biological, psychic and cultural dimension, as a result of the historical interaction of European blood on American soil.

"Southern Cross: Represents the constellation used by European navigators in the process of Conquest and Colonization of the Americas."

While the images of the flag can be found online, no photos of its use have been found so far, suggesting that it is used extremely rarely, or not at all, in real life.
