Taiwanese Aboriginals
Taiwanese Aboriginals are the indigenous peoples of Taiwan, with a rich cultural heritage that predates Han Chinese settlement. They belong to several distinct tribes, each with its own language, traditions, and customs. The major tribes include the Amis, Atayal, and Paiwan, among others, and they are recognized for their unique art, music, and social structures.
Historically, Taiwanese Aboriginals have faced challenges due to colonization and modernization, which have impacted their traditional lifestyles. Today, efforts are being made to preserve their languages and cultures, and many Aboriginal communities actively promote their heritage through festivals and cultural exchanges.
