The realities of growing up indigenous in Taiwan

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- After decades of Hanization in Taiwan, most Indigenous youth are picking up Chinese as their mother tongue and losing their connection with their tribal heritage.
However, organizations like Taiwan Indigenous Television are pulling out all the stops to educate the public and empower Indigenous youth to discover their roots. Their efforts are starting to pay off.

As an Indigenous Native American woman…Stay Strong, United and Positive. This is the first time I heard about you. I wish you the best FUTURE and that you achieve your goals and dreams. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🔥🇺🇸
Are you really a red indian
@@amschelco.1434 what even is that question?
Lmfao😂
The indigenous people of Taiwan are family to us in Malaysia and Indonesia. We share the same ancestors ❤
Because its same astronesians race
Only dayak cuz the culture of headhunting. Cuz other tribes in indonesia only get influenced by austronesian languange but not the culture and dna
They are ur ancestors
Same as us Filipino's
@@BolansnoopyngangDayak also have a mixture of Austroasiatic. People who live in Malay peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan/Borneo, and Bali are genetically mix of Austroasiatic & Austronesia.
I’m very interested in the indigenous cultures in Taiwan. I hope someday to be able to visit and learn about them.
Come !!! It is amazing and so many things to discover from them
@@MemoryLoss.. Is there a way to visit Taiwan and meet the indigenous peoples in a meaningful way, and not in a creepy touristy way?
I hope that their culture will be prosperous and beautiful. As they are family to us polynesians
When Chinese-Han and Taiwanese-Han fight over the island of Formosa,, but here are the true inhabitants of the land being deprived of their rights and privileges in their own territory. Thanks for the Taiwanese government's efforts for the indigenous groups but I think it's not enough.
Im learning Amis language here in the Philippines and would love to make it grow here and practice the culture as many people here are thirsty to know their roots not the hispanic but the Austronesian, I feel its returning to our roots and unite with Taiwan to save our common culture from being erased and hananized Nga ayho Pangcah Philippines west philippine sea.
Funny fake news !
Taiwan's indigenous people has their culture preserved unlike Tagalog-Filipinos that got assimilated by the Spaniards.
Cringe... umayos ka nga..
@@kzm-cb5mr lol AI ka lang wag kang mag pretend na taong nag ki cringe
Yes astronesians but philippines forgot about it because of colonization their identity was erased. If you go around philippines you can see their mentality they are lost they are biting one another. Astronesian forgot to have a strong hold and preserve themselves..
@@amschelco.1434it's not really erased. Most of our culture survived albeit influenced. That's why our Catholic traditions here are slightly different from what is practiced in europe. Same case with Islam here being slightly different from the Islam of the Arab world...
Kia Ora to our kuzzies from Taiwan ❤️🔥❤️🔥 from Aotearoa Māori
hey dude do Maori people come from Taiwan, very interesting!
@@toddviv one of the genetic haoplogroups do, y dna haplogroup o to be specific. But our older lineage is from haologroup c the ancient people of sunda, where as the austronesian male married into our female line
@@medit8iv_native970 wow thats awesome so interesting
@Fphelps yeah so we're all family, same with our melanesian kuzziss marrying into our female line too 🔥🙏🏽
@@medit8iv_native970 that is just excellent
They are austronesian people like those people in southeast asia like the philippines, indonesia & malaysia...
Solidarity for indigenous people everywhere
When I have visited a cultural aboriginal center in Pingtung, 🇹🇼 they gave me a warm welcome 😀👍. From my French 🗼🇫🇷 tourist prospective, the visit was interesting.
I just went there 3 days ago, it was amazing, did u went to Wutai also ?
@@MemoryLoss.. I have to go there when I come back to Taiwan 🇹🇼.
@@inlovewiththerepublicoftai4929 you should ! Amazing place
really interesting topic, I empathize and relate to this although not native Taiwanese i do belong to an Asian ethnic minority group also.
Like Hmong? dai?
I want to visit Taiwan so, I can learn more about my ancestors! 😊
Stupid 😁
Tagalog-Filipino ancestors are in the Philippines .
I ❤️ 💕 💗 Taiwan😊
What a great video ! Thank you ! Where can we watch Taiwan Indigenous Television and other Taiwanese indigenous -like contents please ?
Very important to preserve ancestor's culture
Han Chinese are just immigrants of FORMOSA NOW TAIWAN...
They fled China when it was punishable by death if they were caught. Exit bans went back hundreds of years. They were running from poverty and warlords.
Have a think where the Taiwan indigenous people originally came from. They did not just spring up from the soil of an island.
Absolutely and the try to spilt from Mainland China.All Han Chinese should go back to the mainland and let Taiwanese indigenous groups control Taiwan and not the Taiwanese Chinese.
Exactly. Chinese in Taiwan are just occupiers and should go back to Communist China and return Formosa to the indigenous Austronesian people. The descendants of the indigenous people like Filipinos, Indonesians and Malaysians can help govern Formosa. Evil Communist China never have any historical and legal claim over Formosa.
@@csking6377ironically Taiwanese Native were originally from east asia from paleo era😂😂😂😂
Dont worry lima gang still here in indonesia, malaysia, brunai, Filipina, ocenia raya, new zeland , hawai, india, and I dont know where else.
Lima gang wow what is that? Im astronesian and i like to understand that.. astronesians especially in philippines are so fucked up..
Madagascar. And if we consider the 21st century migration of our people... All around the world...
You know about the Kra Dai People?. We are your brethren who stayed and assimilated on the mainland..
India?
Two years later, I wonder if Yukan eventually became a teacher for Indigenous Language.
They are our ancestors from Indonesia
Why don't the government encourage, say, 30% of the Han people to learn the language and take it up in school. That way the language will be relevant. Otherwise it will continue to be squeezed indefinitely.
right, I think it’s a very different situation from what they have in New Zealand, for example, where the European descents respect and even consider the indigenous culture of the Maori as part of their identity.
@@adamwon3012 I understand that there have been mixing between the ethnic groups there, however I was highlighting the pride the New Zealanders have when it comes to Māori culture. It is believes that there’s no full-blooded Maori people left in New Zealand, but everyone, including those who are Caucasians and even recent immigrants, are proud of the native culture of the land. It’s their identity, and they proudly show it.
The diversity of the Austronesian population in Taiwan is more than anywhere else. Even though many of the languages are now extinct, there are still at least 16 or so different native languages that are recognized.
That said, progress is at least more possible with the DPP than under other parties. President Tsai Ing-Wen herself is actually 1/4 indigenous.
It's sad that this is the reality for so many indigenous people everywhere though. Assimilated until you're a minority (with very few full-blooded indigenous left), and your culture relegated to the sidelines/extinction.
As the late great Haunani Kay-Trask put it, "Our culture can’t just be ornamental and recreational". It will take a lot to preserve these and other native cultures and languages in the world. I wish for all the indigenous people of the world to revive and prosper.
@@peanutButterJe11y
Taiwan's Han-Chinese doesn't need to learn indigenous languages .
That's the duty of indigenous people to do .
@@kilantravelsare you sure
These indigenous peoples of the mountain areas are the roughest people imaginable. They hunt deer and boar in steep jungle forests with primitive weapons. I have met them in Hualien near Tacoma Gorge. These are the original inhabitants before the Han immigrants. They have a rich culture and history. They share a language known as Austronesian that extends southward to Madagascar and most of the islands in the South Pacific. They came to Taiwan in outrigger canoes and resisted both the Chinese, Dutch and Japanese invaders. Before that, they cooked and ate shipwrecked sailors from Europe and Japan. China’s emperors considered them ungovernable barbarians. But their societies were cohesive and showed community activities in fishing, hunting, playing and sports. Early photos of them show how rugged they were, both men and women. Heavily tattooed bodies and faces. They were like Comanches on steroids without horses. Japanese soldiers hated to go into the mountains looking for them. Museums will sometimes display indigenous art which tell stories over many centuries.
Funny false narrative .
Taiwan's indigenous are also immigrants to Taiwan .
Chinese settlers were not invaders .
there are 17 tribes in Taiwan most of them came from the northern part of the Philippines, they are closely related to Ifugao tribe or generally known as Igorots
So this means that the Taiwanese are mostly Chinese people who took these innocents' land?? What the heck? o_O
Yes
Yep the Fujian and Guangdong
There's always been some migration between what is now known as China and Taiwan. That's also where the indigenous also migrated from (SE China). Larger scale migration didn't start to occur until Dutch occupation though, when they needed laborers. Later on when Japan started to occupy indigenous territories, that's when "China" decided to actively try to govern the indigenous as well. Migration was still limited though, and apparently most rebellions came from the Chinese population. After WWII ended and the Chinese nationalists lost the civil war, a lot of them were evacuated/migrated to Taiwan.
The indigenous were assimilated (mostly through intermarriage when it came to the Chinese), but that doesn't make the disappearance of their cultures and languages any less sad.
The Nationalists from Fujian invaded Taiwan island by the millions after getting defeated in the Mainland. They took Aboriginal land and destroyed aboriginal culture. That's the truth. That is why I don't support Taiwan independence movement or their Nationalist government. I also don't support Japan because they do the same to the Ryukyu and Ainu people.
I mean this is what has happened all over the world. New Zealand for example is mostly European New Zealanders, while the native Maori are the minority in their own lands. Taiwan is no exception.
So therefore China has no rightful claim to the island .
China includes Taiwan .
ROC on Taiwan . And PRC on the Mainland .
The Nationalists have no rightful claim to the island either, Nationalists are Hokkien speaking Han from Fujian province. It is the nationalists that are stealing aboriginal land and destroying native cultures, most aboriginals are PRO MAINLAND, funny they don't say that on the news.
Austronesian people should be united Thu we have difference in languages and in different islands,, anyway we all came from one ancestors that spread around Asia,,, we should not allow colonialism to dissolve our originality,, there should be inter action between islands ,,,,,,,,, ♥️♥️♥️♥️ sugbo 🇵🇭
Funny .
Tagalog-Filipinos language and culture are not pure but Spanish influenced.
Sakto gyud ka brad pero daghan na kau problema sa mentalidad sa pinoy.. ang pinoy ra naghilo sa ilang kaogalingon lahi.. kani akong storya evident ni makita ni nimo sa society.. bisag sa top level pa going down to the lowest!
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 wer not even tagalog we are visaya..
We respect the indegenous people of Taiwan for their ancestors are the ones that introduce rice🍚🌾 farming and agriculture to the rest of asia 🥰, they are one of the ancestral roots of south east Asia. Don't look down on your self just because snobby people criticized your roots , be proud of your roots , when others look down on me and bullies me just because of my ethnicity my tribe my elders always said to be proud of my ethnicity .so I'm proud to be igorot and I don't care about the lowland Luzon tagalogs and lowland ilocano's rude stereotypes, I know my ancestors and I am proud of them, I don't care how much lies the pre Hispanic said to our colonized low land neighbors that influenced them into thinking they're better than the rest of the ethic groups in the Philippine archipelago ,but some day hopefully we would have a better Unity along with the rest of the tribes and locals in Mindanao with out them the rest believing in bad stupid stereotypes. Maybe some day we would have unity and appreciate each other's diverse culture . Atleast Indonesia manage to get along with the rest of their ethnic groups just like the Formosa tribes uniting to get each other too☺️
Yeah the Austronesians got replaced within there own land pretty quickly mainly from The Han Chinese yeah
Not their own land ... They were also immigrants to the island .
Same with all astronesians land i dont know why there is no strong resistance like how russia is doing astronesians they fall pretty easily 😂 but they feel strong against each other..
Land of all of us Austronesian Ppl ancestor. Not the chinese
Wrong.
Taiwan's indigenous came to Taiwan from somewhere else .
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 and where is that be?
The people from Taiwan migrate to the Pacific taking with them the taro plant ....just imagine if they didn't take the taro plant with them........
I think merging all the indigenous languages into a single standard Formosan language would help in promoting and preserving it
Nonsense .
No such thing as a standardized indigenous language .
I think this is a well-intentioned idea, but ultimately it would do nothing except create yet another language for indigenous populations to learn. The use and popularity of it would also eventually wipe out the existing languages, defeating the purpose of its creation.
That is equivalent to what has happened to their neighbors to the south. Indonesia, Philippines, and Malaysia, despite having hundreds of different ethnolinguistic groups, decided to utilize a single trade language for every citizens. Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, and Tagalog alone have speakers in the hundreds of millions.
@@StickyKeys187
Official national language
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 Lingua Franca. Honestly the terms are interchangeable, since making a particular language "Officiai" means it will be used in, you guessed it, officially. A Javanese might not understand someone from the other side of the island such as a Sundanese, but they can communicate using the standardized Malay we know as Bahasa Indonesia, aka the "official" language.

Can you have English translations?
If you hit the closed captioning/CC button, a translation pops up
I mean... Is there no formal version of the traditional clothes? Why a ⛛?
I really hope they dont lose this tho.
Look at the indigenous people body built and the eyes !! It totally different compare to the Han people so tell me when did the Paiwan people become Chinese ?? Victors of the war get to write the history and it’s lies #fact democratic of china moved to Formosa or Taiwan to regroup because they have lost the mainland battle against the communist and that’s the real story to it .. Paiwan people never been china or Chinese
The genocide of the indigenous actual Taiwanese is so sad and not talked about enough. That’s why I don’t support Taiwan as it currently is- if it were actually ruled by its people, then yes.
It hasn't been genocide so much as assimilation through intermarriage. Doesn't make the disappearance of the native languages and cultures any less sad though. At least the DPP is not as chauvinistic as the other parties are when it comes to their indigenous people. Pres. Tsai Ing-Wen is 1/4 Paiwan herself.
@@peanutButterJe11y
Fake news.
KMT policy preserved indigenous culture .
@@scholarssolutions6735
Stupid .
Is Australia ruled by the aborigines ?
Is New Zealand ruled by the Maori ?
They became Chinese under the Ch'ing dynasty .
Annette Lu, Taiwan's former vice president, said that aboriginals should leave Taiwan and go to Latin American countries. Taiwan has some serious racism.
Only DPP separatists are that racists.
Most Taiwanese are mixed -- they just don't know it. Indigenous culture was surpressed during the white terror era. It was safer to "be" Chinese.
"white terror" didn't affect the indigenous people.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 yes it did. i was there. I'm indigenous.
@@audreyandlinCompany
"White Terror" was aimed at anti-KMT local Chinese that were involved in the riots .
That is true. I am pretty sure my family was mixed with plain indigenous people and I’m quite convinced a lot people in Taiwan are partial indigenous people especially those whose family arrived in Taiwan before the Qing dynasty.

This is why I don't like how people are pushing for "Taiwanese independence". The indigineous people won't have a voice if the ethnically Chinese people have the upper hand if they can get their country "free".
The CCP also pushing sinicization in China
upper hand in what? the chinese already control the country.
What do you suggest then? Relocate all the Han Chinese?
@@Alex.af.Nordheim wouldn’t it be better that they could have the upper hand? I mean, Taiwan is still technically China ROC so if they just abandon that they government, they could make a new one.
PRC won't permit the DPP gov to declare secession without consequences .
and yet CCP try to invade taiwan as part of their territory.. 🤣.. too many angry chinese from mainland china about visit from higher officials in U.S. to Taiwan Island.. long live Austronesian family!
Stupid 😏
Austronesians are Chinese too ... for they're citizens of the ROC .
Then what is the Nationalist doing in Taiwan? You know the Nationalists are also HAN???? It was the nationalists that destroyed aboriginal culture and stealing aboriginal land, you DMBFCK. Most aboriginals are PRO MAINLAND. They hate the Nationalist Han supremacists.
Part of AUSTRONESIAN BIG FAMILY 420 Millions around the World..!! LIMA GANG..!! 👍
That 97% Han categorization is utterly false based on the latest genetic research. 90% Taiwanese are native.
Formosa Austronesia lol 😂 not Han
They are Chinese not taiwanese for me.
Yep, Taiwan aboriginal tribes been wiped out silently by Chiang Kai Shek's Kuomintang militias...
@@silverianjannvs5315Wrong，the aborigines are more pro KMT because the Hokkien Chinese are the one who keep committing crimes on the aborigines.
Poor people got colonised by the people who want a free taiwan lol
Your close relative are the Filipinos . Learn the Tagalog language
Thus young guy that is a Aboriginal Organizer is clearly NOT Aboriginal Taiwanes, He looks FOB from Hing Kong!
