EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, showcases a confident and proud man of the Atayal tribe, originally from the mountainous region in the north of Formosa, now known as Taiwan. At the time, Taiwan was under Japanese rule. The man is dressed in an open sleeveless tunic, typical of the Atayal people's traditional attire, and carries a knife at his belt. The Atayal tribe, also referred to as the Tayal or Tayan people, were known for their strong connection to the land and their skill in agriculture. Their territory was rich in resources, including rice paddies, fruit trees, and bamboo forests. The Atayal people have a rich cultural heritage, with their own language, customs, and traditions. They were known for their intricate basketry, pottery, and weaving, as well as their unique musical instruments, such as the sheng and the gong. The Atayal people also had a strong spiritual connection to their land and believed in various deities and ancestor worship. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Atayal people during the 1920s. It is a reminder of the diverse and fascinating indigenous cultures that have shaped the world's history and continue to influence us today. The man's confident pose and steady gaze speak to the strength and resilience of the Atayal people, who have endured and adapted to the changes that have come their way over the centuries.
