The latter represents the indigenous peoples of Eastern Bolivia and has been used as a symbol of protest against the construction of a highway in TIPNIS by the opponents of Evo Morales in that area of the country.

The white background represents Amazonian wisdom (in the Mojeño worldview) and the Patujú flower is a noble symbol of the region.

Remberto Justiniano Cujuy, Aldemir Saldaña Mole, leaders of the Central de Pueblos Indígenas del Beni (CPIB) and Julio Ribera Paniagua, Director of the Pastoral Indígena del Vicariato del Beni, created the Patujú Flag, as a national symbol of the native peoples of the lowlands, as an alternative to the Wiphala.

Thus, the president of the Confederation of Indigenous People of Eastern Bolivia (CIDOB), Adolfo Chávez Beyuma, popularized this flag together with Antonio Soto Guatara[11] as a national symbol of the native peoples of the lowlands, alleging that they do not feel identified with the Wiphala.

[12][13][14][15] Rafael López Mercado proposed to present a bill for the flag to be recognized as a national symbol, before that he wanted to send it to the CIDOB for its socialization and consent by the indigenous people of the east.
