Culture

Indigenous Arts
Arts such as woodcarving, weaving, basketry, as well as ceremonial dances and songs, have long played a central role in indigenous life, with each ethnicity developing its own distinct artistic style.
The government is also making efforts to promote tribal culture. In the last few years, such as recording the songs and dances of indigenous peoples.

Woodcarving
Paiwan carvings range from toys, ornamental objects, and religious implements to buildings, furniture, and weapons.
Rukai carvings are similar but of less variety. The Yami, who live primarily on Orchid Island off the southern coast of Taiwan, are expert woodcarvers.

Weaving
Another art form central to aboriginal culture is weaving, which is especially well-developed among the Atayal.
Women in other indigenous groups also weave and the Paiwan are adept at embroidery.

Ceramics
Pottery-making traditions are maintained by the Bunun, Paiwan, Rukai, Amis, and Yami. For the Paiwan, pots are strongly associated with ancestor worship

Architecture
The indigenous peoples have unique architectural traditions.

Dance and Music
Dance and music are perhaps the richest legacies of Taiwan's native peoples.
Communal dances, performed at regular ceremonies and rituals, consist mostly of simple but harmonious walking and foot-stomping movements, often performed in unison and accompanied by melodic choruses.
indigenous music is intimately connected to nearly every aspect of tribal life, from daily chores to religious rites. The songs are divided into four groups, according to theme: harvests, daily work, love, and tribal legends.
