These areas are in southern Chile (south of Bio Bio River) and the
name is the indigenous (mapuche) name, original but unknown in the world.
More information can be found in the rewiews of the Mapuche people.

I found a map on line. There are spelling diferences and mismatched names comparing with Jaume’s report:
Jaume | SerIndigena |
---|---|
Huillche | Williche |
Pehuenche | Pehuenche (or "Pewenche"?) |
Lafquenche | Lafkenche |
? | Pikunche |
Huenteche | ? |
? | Mapuche |
Nagche | ? |
Yet another completely different set of subdivisions is shown on line in
this historical/irredentist map of the Mapuche territory.

In the spring of 1991 in Valdivia was celebrated a convention called Meli Witram Mapu of the Mapuche People. The adoption of a national flag was aborted and 500 projects were presented. Five projects were selectioned for the five regions of the Mapuches (Lafquenche, Pehuenche, Huillche, Huenteche and Nagche).
The regional flags share a common symbolism:

At the Millamap
website you can see an urban Mapuche community in Santiago:
Asociación de Mapuches Urbanos Lelfünche.

This flag shows the kultrun with a different elemnt order than
the main Mapuche flag: Star is in the upper fly
quadrant and the crescent is in the lower fly, and a “starfish” sun on
the other two quadrants.
