	Saisiyat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Saisiyat inhabit western Taiwan, overlapping the border between Hsinchu County and Miaoli County.
		The Saisiyat knew that the Taai were particularly fong of cavorting in a loquat tree that overhung a precipice.
		That is the origin of the Saisiyat tribe's pygmy spirit ritual, or "Pas-taai" in the Saisiyat language, which held in the middle of the tenth lunar month, with a minor festival held every other tear and a major festival held every ten years.
