Vox Nativa, the indigenous children's choir from the slopes of Taiwan's highest peak Yushan, honored us with a visit today—fresh from their European tour & singing for His Holiness @Pontifex at the #Vatican. Your voices continue to inspire & share #Taiwan's story with the world.

#Maljeveq i #Tjuvecekadan
On the final day of Tjuvecekdan’s Maljeveq, the Five-Year Festival, after the last blessing ball was hit, the warriors swiftly brought down the ceremonial pole and raced to their chief’s house, marking the grand finale of the festival.

A typhoon just made landfall in Taiwan, with a rainbow appearing at the start. It's expected to move away by this Friday.

Imagine having to defend your gender and nationality on top of defending the gold.

Only one person has had to do that at the Paris Olympics. Her name is Lin Yu-ting, the pride of Taiwan! ❤️

Passport power.

Taiwan's passport has been ranked 69th on a passport index by https://t.co/pxj2s7DZJz. According to the list, Taiwanese passport holders can visit 100 countries visa-free, though are barred from going to Georgia.

A new law allows for the standalone use of Indigenous names in native languages on personal IDs in Taiwan, ending a previous requirement for Chinese names and limits on romanized forms.

“Chinese” identity was forced on Taiwan through indigenous genocide (17-19th centuries) and post-war authoritarian indoctrination. But today only 2% of Taiwanese identify as “Chinese.” In the 21st century we stand up for who we are: a diverse society that reflects our unique history and is focused on our shared future.

Below are my grandma Kolas on the right and my eldest aunt as a child. Austronesian indigenous peoples have been on this island for thousands of years.

On Feb 28, 1947, the Taiwanese people violently overthrew the corrupt rule of the recently arrived Chinese Nationalists (KMT). The KMT retook control and murdered 1000s of potential Taiwanese leaders. The tragedy still influences politics today. More here:
