There are many celebrations of aboriginal culture in Taiwan. Taiwan's original resident nationality belongs to Malaya-Polynesian ancestry. Most aboriginal cultures live in the mountainous areas of Taiwan.
There are a total of 12 aborigine tribes in Taiwan:
Amis, Atayal, Bunun, Kavalan, Paiwan, Pinuyumayan or Punuyumayan, Rukai, Saisiyat, Thao, Truku, Tsou, and Yami
Each tribe has its' own respective language, manners, customs and tribal structure, seemingly the only common thread amongst them aside from geographical representation is that fact that each is now facing assimilation and cultural preservation issues.
The mysterious customs and traditions of the aborigines, Taiwan's indigenous people, such as the Harvest Festival (Smatto), the Worship of Hunting (Mabuasu), spiritual rituals, totemism, and snake worship, give an extra dimension to Taiwan's culture.

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work :) I am truly happy in Daejeon. My schools are amazing, and I honestly couldn't ask for more. I really appreciate all of the work that went into me being apart of Daejeon MOE. Based on the circumstances, it was pretty difficult managing things, and I am happy we were all able to make it work together.”
