heritage he was only just diseases sometimes i feel i'm too persistent like a cockroach that refuses to die. that i. was. born. to tie all live in communities close to 600 people live in chen village. by the entrance to the village there's a statue of a thai all in a line cloth hunting a wild boar just like in the old days. at the former police station chen heads a meeting of the village development committee its goal to ensure a future for taiwan's indigenous peoples what we did was woman though hasn't a baby when i return to the village for a project after a long absence i thought our culture is being neglected always. now and as i was

studying regional planning i realised if we young people don't tend to it no one will have with ballance out. but chen doesn't speak much. her family left the village when she was quite young. to raise funds the committee began doing everything from selling millet liquor to wooing towards so the tell yall could stand on their own 2 feet but as an independent young woman who didn't speak the language fluently chen also met with resistance especially the older members. this patriarchal society who are reluctant to follow her lead. alcohol abuse and high unemployment also continue to play guitar yard so chen says to deal with indigenous issues you need to have a thick skin at home this thing this is all it is it it's you know there's no pleasing some people we ask ourselves if we shouldn't just give up because it's

never enough you have to be able to put up with that the how much is yours all. but a decade of hard work and persistence is paying off the number of visitors is rising and there's more tourist accommodation that means more money jobs and a sense of pride in what they've accomplished that's given a much needed boost to the thai all self-confidence. chan approaches a tourist who's fishing here she invites him to an upcoming festival and to take part in a trash collection project with the tourists out there. chen tries to help him with her vision of eco tourism but he's not taking the bait. he says maybe next time. settle realities it will buy us that if we want to or isn't we have to give something back to the land so we're cleaning up the rivers and streams. the

tourists can help. they learned how to paddle a kayak and help us to. the thai all consider themselves to be very robust unlike these countrymen from the west coast they did recover one piece of plastic and had an unforgettable experience so i say what's up i don't want seasick i threw up it was bad. so you fed the fish. so. the guide a young thai all isn't worried it's all for a good cause as. we go doesn't it afterwards people always tell others how nice it is here it makes me happy to be able to tell people about us so they would say i look. around 90000 tyo live in taiwan chen wants to introduce these guests to a few of them at the indigenous peoples festival upset stomach or knowledge.

rice's. and balik lee thrashed or cloth his robes and this courage to combine the old in the new has helped to rejuvenating culture. do you see that after our winning performance we were so moved we almost cried the audience applauded wildly we didn't even the elders thought it was fantastic and a way of passing on our cultural heritage has a huge influence on the functioning. mike's 14 year old sister mimi is attending the daily training sessions for the 1st time she likes to dance and is proud of her indigenous heritage. if you think it's very nice that it includes traditional movements. that way the dances have even more meaning for the tie all the. senses they are. making progress one step at a time their forefathers would certainly applaud their efforts.

time ones indigenous peoples are now taking the plunge and showing off their culture to outsiders. at junior's highest point a thai all woman is doing her part with a loan for indigenous peoples some help from her parents and a lot of guts shooting t.v. has built a roomy b. and b. it attracts tourists from as far away as japan and singapore tyo women have shown more initiative than the men children left in you when she was a teenager and still works as a nurse on taiwan's west coast but now she spends half her time at home. while typing into the will go when i visited our old tribal lands 3 years ago i sensed this connection it was astonishing even though i'd been away for so long and

tribes have sent representatives that's good yes you want them don't more people should get to know us. that's why the festival is being held here so tourists can stop and take a look at all the fuss was about how about prison following one of the speeches chen approaches an older woman and arranges for us to visit the seniors club the next day. the seniors meet every weekday from 10 until 12 at the community center there they can get a medical check up and do cardiovascular exercises while sitting down and today they are being treated to a special film. a few years ago residents of 2 new took a helicopter ride to the mountains to visit the abandoned village of growth in in 1957 its residents were forcibly resettled to jim you some of these people hadn't seen their old home village in decades.

here lie the roots of what made the time what they are. now using made when there wasn't much variety but the mountain gave us everything we also planted sweet potatoes everything was organic when we were lucky and didn't have to buy anything at the. cunt of a job there i realized how much i missed my home village. this notion was there too and saw for herself how important this trip was for the older people from her village. was one of them. like a that they can't listen i spoke and cried then i visited the remains of my parents' house and our house and i left my name behind. thank you being with. the communal hall is a place of remembrance many here say life was harder in the mountains but it was

nicer. puncheon used main street retired in need pursues his hobby looking after the model village he repairs it when the children have broken something. the settlement symbolizes the old mountain village of rio his farming community today there's so much competition already in school and people compare the cars and houses they've bought a good beat the other day. to be. on this day the conditions aren't great for long tracks outdoors but there's no stopping thing. while the seniors wax nostalgic about the past. is creating the future in the mountains. she meets with a troop of construction workers but tell you all men are renewing an old mountain

trail there which you might call trailblazers has been on really do like a lot of the past generations collected mushrooms and hunted wild boar here but grass has also grown over this part of her people's culture are all. for woman feeds. and we young people have a little experience with the mountains so we hope that children can go into the woods again now without otherwise we only return to our distant tribal lands every one or 2 years that's why a trail around our village would be very nice out. it's pouring rain but chen doesn't let that stop her she knows that sun follows rain and that there will be brighter days ahead for taiwan's indigenous peoples.
