Officials at the museum and the Ministry of Education, its supervisory department, are launching investigations and mapping out contingency measures -- including plans for compensation. The museum is also in charge of the 18 hectares that make up the Pyuma Tribe Cultural Park. www.museum-security.org /01/141.html

CAR May05 webnews Prof Peter Bellwood was in the Taiwan News regarding the above-mentioned lecture at the Taiwanese National Museum of Prehistory on the migration of Austronesian-speaking people across the Asia-Pacific region from Taiwan to Pacific Rim areas. This concept of a 'living museum' that values all aspects of both tangible and intangible heritage resources and creativity of the stakeholder community groups is quite different from the conventional edifice and collection driven idea of a museum. Adi Taha and his Museum staff had previously organized a previous visit by David Bulbeck, and dentists from the University of Malaya, to collect dental casts and carry out oral health screening at most of the same communities investigated by Oppenheimer and his colleagues. car.anu.edu.au /May05newsfull.html

News Article - ATAYAL - The worldwide voice of the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan The government of Taitung County, together with the National Museum of Prehistory, jointly sponsored the recent Festival of Austronesian Cultures. Much of the evidence that led Taiwan linguists to the conclusion that Taitung is the birthplace of this expansive language group can be seen on display at the prehistory museum. Although the festival raised complicated questions about the appropriateness of the use of Taiwan's aboriginal peoples to boost Taiwan's international profile and increase tourism, the event was a good indication of the newfound importance Taipei places on the island's aboriginal tribes. www.atayal.org /tony/atayalorg/NewsView.asp?catID=26
