Taiwan Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of Taiwan, with a rich cultural heritage that predates Han Chinese migration. They belong to various tribes, each with its own distinct language, traditions, and customs. There are currently 16 officially recognized tribes, including the Amis, Atayal, and Paiwan. These communities have historically relied on agriculture, hunting, and fishing for their livelihoods. In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve their languages and traditions, as well as to promote their rights and representation within the broader Taiwanese society.
