EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, showcases the vibrant and diverse Atayal tribe residing in the mountainous region of northern Formosa, now known as Taiwan. At the time, Taiwan was under Japanese rule. The Atayal people, also referred to as the Tayal, Tayan, or Amis, are an indigenous Austronesian ethnic group with a rich cultural heritage. In this image, a group of Atayal men, women, and children are depicted in their traditional attire. The men wear loose-fitting shirts and trousers, often adorned with intricate patterns and designs, while the women don colorful skirts and blouses, accessorized with intricate headdresses and jewelry. The children, both boys and girls, are dressed in simpler versions of their parents' clothing. The Atayal people were known for their strong connection to their land and the natural resources it provided. They were skilled hunters, farmers, and weavers, utilizing the abundant resources of the mountainous region to sustain their community. Their traditional way of life was deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs and customs, which were passed down through generations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Atayal people during the 1920s. Today, their culture and traditions continue to be celebrated and preserved, reflecting the rich tapestry of diversity that makes up the world's many peoples and communities.
