great but what can brian the brain tell me

about them there are over

450 000 aborigines on taiwan now

they came here many years ago

some live here in the mountains others live on the plains

what did they do they fished or hunted they also did some

farming too and some of the mountain tribes were head hunters

but they don't hunt heads anymore

right of course not

the presentation will talk about it are the taroko a large tribe

no they're a small tribe the amis are a

large tribe many of them also live in the hualien

area they have a big harvest festival every

crafts and some taroko women may be weaving

that was a good presentation i learned a

lot me too i didn't know about their tattoos when i

first came to hualien years ago i saw those tattoos a lot now

i rarely see them only very old people have them now

is someone taking pictures of them they need to preserve that part of their

culture i know some people are doing that

the taroko women are very good at weaving

they use lots of colors now but they used to use only white with

some red and green weaving must take a lot of time
