Taiwan's indigenous groups are a diverse range of people who have lived on the island for thousands of years. They are believed to have migrated to Taiwan from various parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Today, there are 16 recognized indigenous groups in Taiwan, each with its unique culture, language, and customs. These groups make up about 2% of Taiwan's population and have faced many challenges over the years, including discrimination, land disputes, and the loss of their traditional way of life. Despite these challenges, many indigenous people in Taiwan have worked hard to preserve their culture and traditions, and their contributions to Taiwan's society and economy are increasingly being recognized and celebrated.
