Taokas is one of the Indigenous peoples of Taiwan’s central-western plains. Along with other tribes of this area, such as Pazeh, Kaxabu, Papora, and Babuza, they were driven eastwards into the mountains by newcomers eyeing their land.
Today, activists from these communities are joining forces to revive their languages and identities. They draw inspiration from the Kingdom of Dadu, a supra-tribal alliance that once resisted Taiwan’s first colonisers, albeit unsuccessfully.
Tune in as we hear from Taokas activist Kaisanan Ahuan about his people’s fight for recognition.
