Still Alive
The island is a place to nurture people and the ocean is the route for outsiders. It all started when a Dutch merchant ship broke into Liuqiu Island offshore of Taiwan in 1622 and began the Dutch colonial plunder of Taiwan.
The Indigenous People Action Coalition of Taiwan acts like the assembly of the reunited back then. They are writing their history not only through words but through their own actions.
Tribes have always existed and they deserve their rightful place in Taiwanese history.
