- 2007 May 28, Jennings, Ralph, “Taiwan aboriginals seek the past to stay unified”, in Reuters, archived from the original on 19 August 2022, Lifestyle:
- Migration to the cities for work or higher education has also reduced the number of tribe members still living on the land. Religious differences, brought on by exposure to Taiwanese and Western missionaries, have also led to differences and discord between the various tribes.
But activists such as Sakinu -- who goes by just one name and runs a community center in Taimali -- warn that the island’s 13 recognized tribes, totaling about 400,000 of Taiwan’s 23 million population, could lose their land, rights and identities unless they cling to their roots and unify their ranks.
