The Harvest Festival of the Taiwanese Aborigines
The summer time every year is also the time for the Harvest Festival of many Taiwanese aboriginal tribes. It is interesting for you as tourists to participate at their festivals and it is also a great self-enrichment to learn about the aboriginal traditions of Taiwan.
The aborigines will passionately sing and dance together as a tribe to thank God for the year's good harvest, and hope for good harvest next year. For the Ami Tribe, after their crops are harvested, their elder would then decide the date for his tribe unit to hold their celebration of the Harvest Festival.This annual Harvest Festival is what keeps the Ami Tribe traditions and language running. Without the festival, these cultures and music can vanish forever. It would be a lot of fun to organize rafting activity along with your visit to Taiwan's east coast for the Harvest Festival.
