AbstractAbstract

• Taiwan lies midway between Japan and the Philippines. Because of the rich natural resources and the attractive geographical location close to the Malayan Archipelago, the Chinese mainland, and Japan, Taiwan has attracted diverse peoples and nationalities through the centuries.

IntroductionIntroduction

• History is like a mirror, we can use it to reflect the past and predict the future. Taiwan's unique topographical and geographical position, and its ethnic and linguistic diversity are the factors which constitute its uniqueness in history.

• The people of Taiwan are made up of two main different ethnic groups: Han & Austronesian.

The Han Chinese consists of the The Han Chinese consists of the Hoklo speakers, the Hakka people and Hoklo speakers, the Hakka people and the Honourable citizens, but it would the Honourable citizens, but it would be much better to identify them as be much better to identify them as former residents and latter inhabitants former residents and latter inhabitants in order to differentiate the new in order to differentiate the new residents and the original peoples, residents and the original peoples, 14 14 official-recognized aboriginal official-recognized aboriginal ethnicities of Taiwanethnicities of Taiwan..

Aboriginal languages and culturesAboriginal languages and cultures

• Although some scholars have suggested that Taiwan is the original homeland of all Austronesian peoples (Li, Paul 1995: 1-16), noting the rule-of-thumb “greatest diversity is found at the origin”, Taiwan’s aboriginal peoples are believed to have come from the Malay archipelago or the south-eastern coast of the Asian continent in different waves about 8,000 years ago at the earliest and less than 2,000 years ago at the latest (Chang, 1995; Li, 1979, 1992, 1995; Tsao, 1999b).

The Amis The largest community of abori

ginal peoples are the Amis ethnicity. With a population of 172,685 (2007), they form over 38% of the aboriginal peoples living in Taiwan and Orchid Isle.

The two most impressive characteristics of the Amis tribe are the matrilineal society and their social organization through male work ranks.

The Paiwan

The Paiwan live in the southernmost region of the Central Mountain range. The Paiwan have strictly delineated social classes, a stratified social system similar to feudalism that prevailed in China during the Chou dynasty (AD 1066 to 221BC). There are major divisions between the three classes: nobility, gentry and commoners, and then smaller divisions within each class. 甕 urn

The folk song “Mayamaya azuwa, niyamena azuwa, ‘usini paciwmong anga (You have been booked by my family, and be happy.)” directly indicates the power of delineated social classes and a social stratification system. Masalu!!!Maljimalji!!!

The Atayal/Lokah suka

The third-largest ethnicity in Taiwan is the Atayal. They range over a broad area in the Central Mountains, from Taipei County to Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Nantou and Hualien Prefectures. Men and women have distinctive facial tattoos in the form of patterns, messages or pictures to distinguish villages and groups.

Religion(Utux) and faith(Gaga)

The Bunun They inhabit the central mountain areas,

and their territory is second in size only to the Atayal. Millet, their staple crop, is regarded as precious, a symbol of wealth, which can be brewed into alcohol for social and religious purposes. For instance, at a special Millet-Harvesting Festival in July, all the people of the village celebrate and drink this brew from millet. They are the best hunters, and after the hunt, it is time to form a circle to drink and tell their hunting adventures.

The Rukai/ Sabaw

They are scattered in the areas along the sources of the Cho-Shui River,…. Like the Paiwan, the Rukai have a stratified social system. Their traditional costumes show that they are the descendants of the leopard. The chiefs of the villages wear leopard skin jackets, and use leopard teeth, pig teeth, deer antlers, and eagle feathers for head ornaments.

The Puyuma

The Puyuma are spread throughout the environs of Peinan rural township and Taitung City. Like the Amis, Puyuma society was organized according to a matriarchal system with property passed down to daughters, with women having the right to make decisions over family affairs and the distribution of money. When young Puyuma males reach twelve or thirteen years of age, they enter the ‘palokuwan’, a system of political authority, which is organized according to age. Under the instruction of the elder ranks, the young males study rituals, obedience, courage, wisdom, humility, patience, self-disciplines and skills like fighting, hunting and farming.

Magic plays an important role in their life, and an unfaithful spouse can be subject to spells that lead to sickness and general malaise.

Inavayan!!!

Pasalaw bulay, naniyam kalaumayan garem,Hoiyan hoiyan nalu hoyan,

Adalepe mi adalepe mi,E mareani yo hoyan, hoiyan, hoiyan, nalu hoyan, iya ho hoyan.

Patiyagami, patiyagami, Ku kanbali etani kingmong.

The Saisiyat

Generally speaking, they are divided into two communities: North and South. The South Saisiyat are scattered across Miyawli County, and in the plain areas alongside the Han Hakka people. The North Saisiyat inhabit the mountain areas of the Hsinchu County.

So’o Kazahay!The Saisiyat have a well-developed p

antheon. There are, in fact, four deities, each with specialized functions: Pacusiru is concerned with birth, Tenanto with death, Kaaran with rain, and Ta’ay with agriculture (Fujizaki, 1930). They hold ceremonies to placate the dwarfs and invoke their forgiveness in a well-known annual ceremony.

The Tsou/ Aviyoviyoyu

A well-known folk song celebrates the Tsou as an example of the aboriginal peoples of Taiwan in the following terms: The mountains are green, the flowing waters blue; the lasses of Alishan are as graceful as the water, and the lads as rugged as the mountains...

The Tsou originally specialized in hunting and fishing. Each family had its particular fishing and hunting area, and could only catch fish or animals in their own designated area. There are two main features of the Tsou: one is that they are noteworthy for using leather for clothing, inclusive of caps, detached sleeves, tight leggings, and puckered moccasins, and the other is their men’s house ‘kuba’.

Male: Meiyomey eiya awey! Female: A..a..a..! Meiyomey eiya awey! Male: Ata peyposo! Female: Nanano! Chorus: O..o..o..! Meiyomey eiya awey! A..a..a.. Meiyomey eiya awey!

The Thao/ IdasauPasta kalinking

The Thao are the tenth ethnic minority group of Taiwan after the Amis, Atayal, Paiwan, Bunun, Puyuma, Rukai, Tsou, Saisiat, and Tau (Yami). In 2001 they were recognized as the tenth group with 283 people only. Since the Qing dynasty, they have nearly been assimilated into Chinese society. They lived by growing millet, and pounding it to remove its ears with a mortar and different sizes and lengths of pestles, making a specific and elaborate rhythm and sound (Tung, Masegseg C. 1996: 144-147).

噶瑪蘭族 Kavalan/KebalanWanay

In 2002, the Kavalan, meaning people living on the plain, became the 11th indigenous ethnicity to receive formal designation by the Executive Yuan. Kavalan society is primarily based on matrilineal clans, like the Amis and Puyuma. Banana fibers are used to make material for clothing.

Truku /Teruku(Taroko) 太魯閣

The Truku ethnicity is located mostly in Hsiou-Lin and Wan-Rong villages of Hualian County, and Ren-Ay Village of Nantou County. In 2003, the Truku became the 12th officially designated indigenous ethnicity in Taiwan. They deeply believe that the ancestral spirits are the guardians of the "gaya" (social systems and orders).

在 2004 年 1 月 14 日獲得官方承認，成為第 12個臺灣原住民族。

Rimuy maku rimuy wah!Rimuy maku rimuy wah!Rimuy maku rimuy wah!唯有英勇無比、善於狩獵，通過層層的關卡考驗的男人才有資格紋臉。少女必須擅長於搗米、釀酒、織布、料理家事及照料家人，在紋上臉後，才可堪稱美女。

Sakizaya 撒奇萊雅族 The Sakizaya were recognized as

a 13th ethnicity on January 17, 2007 (Cheng 2007). The famous Galiwan incident in 1878, whcih the Qing then tried to commit genocide of the Sakizaya ethnicity, caused them to hide within the Amis tribes for safety. Since the Sakizayan language is more than 60% different from the Amis language, they became the 13th officially designated aboriginal ethnicity in Taiwan.

O ‘ilol Ako ci Kakaan: Missing my Lover

Yo cilin-cilin yo cilin-cilin ko citingsa to na ni amis-ay. Hay hapinang han ako ili, ma-tiya o tangic ni safa i rarom tina tireng.

Sa kotay-kotay, sa kotay-kotay no saan ci safa.Hay mi-sikol no saan kako, ma-lecad to pisikol ni kaka i rarom tina tireng.

Sa tafesiw-fesiw, tafesiw-fesiw no saan ci safa.Hay mi-sikol no saan kako, ma-lecad to pisikol ni kaka i rarom tina tireng.

塞德克族 SeediqSeejiq/Sediq

賽德克族是 2008 年 4 月 23 日官方承認的台灣第 14個原住民族，人口約六七千多人，居住於山澗狹谷，依傍於大自然之界，應用自然之物獲取生命的延續。賽德克族深深相信，每一個賽德克族人都會經過彩虹橋，最後在傳統倫理中接受審視，並在個人行為的得與失、貞與不貞、忠與誠之間，回到祖靈世界。賽德克（ Seediq ）在南投方面的有「 Tegedaya 德克達雅/ 霧社群」、「 Toda 都達群」、「 Teruku 德路固群」，在花蓮方面的有「太魯閣群 Taroko 」、「 Tawsay 道賽群」、「 Pribaw 木瓜群」等六個部族。

The Tau (Yami)

The Tau (which means simply human beings) are also known as Yami, a name given to them by the Japanese anthropologist, Torii Tatsuzo. Just 3,987 Tau live on a small isolated island, called Orchid Isle. Fishing plays an important role in their economy, and that is why their many rituals relate to fishing activities.

Two aspects of their life are worthy of mention: the notion of sharing and the number of doors in the house. For Tau male adults, building boats is like shaping a male body: it is a sacred task equated with the creation of life.

Conclusion

The variety of languages and cultures associated with different groups, countries, communities, generations, and individuals is a source of great enrichment and offers the potential for endless exploration.

Exposure to other cultures can help us to understand ourselves in relation to others and others in relation to ourselves. It also promotes respect and tolerance for others.
