"Unless you are Taiwanese, you probably don’t know that Taiwan is inhabited by
indigenous Pacific Islanders. Currently, there are 16 recognized tribes on the
island, comprising 2.4% of Taiwan’s population of 23 million people, comparable
to the native population in the United States (2%). Archeological evidence
shows that indigenous people have been on Taiwan for at least 8,000 years. At
some point between 3,000 and 1,500 BCE, groups of indigenous people set sail
from Taiwan and settled all the Austronesian islands, from Madagascar all the
way to Hawaii. The indigenous people of Taiwan are the ancestors of the Maori."
