	TiT Festivals: Appeasing the Spirits
		The story told by the Saisiat elders is that the ritual appeases and corrects a great injustice, precipitated by a tragic incident involving a man of the Short People and a Saisiat woman.
		They say that the Short People and the Saisiat were happy together, and shared their bounty pleasantly; but amidst the labors of one harvest, as the ceremonials were being prepared, the brother (or some say husband) of the offended woman--a young man--quietly sneaked out to the sacred grounds to avenge the perceived wrong.
		The tale's conclusion is predictable: the Saisiat began to experience terrible tragedies for their genocide, for which they repented, and sought out the last of the Short People--two old women, who taught them the ceremonies they perform today to placate the angry spirits and amend the injustice of their ancestors.

	Polymorphisms of complement component I and C1R subcomponent of C1 in nine aboriginal Taiwanese populations. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Polymorphisms of complement component I and C1R subcomponent of C1 in nine aboriginal Taiwanese populations.Complement component I (IF) and C1R subcomponent of C1 (C1R) types were determined by isoelectric focusing and subsequent immunoblotting techniques for 658 individuals from nine aboriginal Taiwanese populations.
		The frequency of the IFA allele ranges from 0.075 (Bunun) to 0.430 (Saisiat), and a new variant allele IFB2 was found to have polymorphic frequency in the Atayal.
		The frequency of the C1R1 allele ranges from 0.410 (Yami) to 0.650 (Atayal), and the frequency of the C1R2 allele ranges from 0.265 (Atayal) to 0.586 (Saisiat).

		The lightening god, saddened by the land being left to waste, sent his daughter to the Earth where she married a Saisiat man and taught the people how to farm.
		Although she eventually returned to the heavens, the Saisiat honor her memory by holding ceremonies each year.

		While elements of the languages and culture of the 10 mountainous races have been maintained, most of the native languages of the Pingpu people have died out and no traces remain.
		Among the mountainous aborigines, the Saisiat and the Atayal are believed to have migrated to Taiwan some 3,000 years ago.
		Anthropologists have no idea what exactly happened, or when, to cause some of Taiwan's earliest natives to die out or disappear, but efforts to seek traces of the original natives' existence via anthropological, linguistic and historical studies have been continuing.

		Taiwan's 9 indigenous tribes (Tsou, Bunun, Paiwan, Rukai, Atayal, Saisiat, Ami, Puyuma, Yami) are highly homogeneous within each tribe, but diversified among the different tribes due to long-term isolation, most probably since Taiwan became an island about 12,000 years ago.
		Homogeneity of each tribe is evidenced by many HLA-A,B,C alleles having the world's highest ever reported frequencies, e.g.
		Also, all of these tribes have HLA class I haplotype frequencies greater than 10%, with A24-Cw7-B39 in Saisiat (44.5%) being the highest, suggesting Taiwan's indigenous tribes are probably the most homogeneous (the "purest") population in the world.

		Rattan was mostly used to make more delicate woven containers, with the rattan bark used after being made into strips.
		The Saisiat's speaker shaped back basket was commonly made using the hexagonal open cage method, with rattan or bamboo strips used to reinforce it around the mouth and bottom of the basket.
		The chief feature of the Saisiat basket was that it was carried using two shoulder straps, made usually from rattan, which were seperately made and attached to the basket using rattan strips.

		One Saisiat male and a Han Chinese female were seropositive for HTLV.
		The Western blot profile indicated the virus was type-1 HTLV.

	Research into the Origins of Austronesian Cultures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Taiwan also has the densest grouping of Arstronesian languages, and the greatest number of different Austronesian languages, of any place on earth.
		In addition to the existing Atayal, Saisiat, Bunung, Zou, Rukai, Paiwan, Amis, Yami, Puyuma, and Sao tribes, these also included the languages of Pingpu tribes that have been assimilated into the Han Chinese residents and thus become extinct.
		In all, 19 different Taiwanese aborigine tribes spoke Austronesian languages; this proves the preeminent position of Taiwan's aborigines in the history of the development of the Austronesian peoples- and even the possibility that this island is the origin of the Austronesian race.

		The Atayal, Saisiat and Paiwan tribes are the only ones that practiced facial tattooing, and their methods were much the same: using a hammer and awl to punch tiny holes in the skin that are then rubbed over with charcoal.
		The buses also take you to an auditorium where authentic Aboriginal songs and dances are staged each weekend.

	Taiwan History: ESL iSLAND
		One lived on the plains of central/south-western Taiwan and the other lived in the mountains (a derogatory term for aborigines in Taiwan literally translates as"Mountain People.") The mountain residents were more violent and engaged in incessant fighting, head-hunting, and ritual tatooing, continuing up to the present century!
		Now, 10 major Austronesian-related tribes remain here: the Ami, Atayal, Bunun, Paiwan, Puyuma, Rukai, Saisiat, Shao, Tsou, and the Yami.
		Each tribe has its own distinctive dress and customs.
