KAB Event - The History and Culture of Taiwan’s Heiho Peple

The History and Culture of Taiwan’s Heiho Peple

National Museum of Ethnology

This event has ended.

The purpose of the growing democratization of Taiwan since the 1980s has not only been political fairness, but the creation of a society in which diverse ethnic groups can live together. Once called the Takasago, the Hakka people of Austronesian descent were formerly considered part of the Han race, but have sought and had their independence recognized as part of Taiwan’s changing society. Heavily influenced by the Han since early times, the customs, language, and material civilization of the Heiho people have undergone major transformations. Through historical records and other museum materials, the National Museum of Ethnology offers new looks at personal histories, sparking a renewed interest in ethnological identity. This special exhibition, originally presented at the National Museum of Taiwan History, offers the opportunity to think about the Heiho people and hear their stories of life in Taiwanese society.
