What Is Aboriginal Economic Development?

Aboriginal or Indigenous refers to an ethnic group that settled earlier in a place. The current discussion of Aboriginal issues should be understood in the context of the colonial cause carried out by nation states. In order to appease or control the Aboriginal people in order to carry out their ruling purposes, foreign rulers will formulate various policies, which often interfere with the lifestyle of the Aboriginal groups and may even lead to the result of extermination.

When discussing this issue in Chinese, there is also the use of the term aboriginal people. The main difference from the aboriginal people is that the former emphasizes that each aboriginal group as a "people" should include the pursuit of nationality in international law.

During the British rule in Hong Kong, the Aboriginals (Han ethnic group) of the New Territories were referred to as Aboriginal inhabitants, and their names have not changed.

According to the research and analysis of anthropologists, the aboriginals' roof truss construction, fire reclamation, betel nut eating, facial masks, leather clothing making, and round dance are all similar to the traditional South Island culture. In the past, most indigenous peoples used traditional nomadic farming and hunting as their main production methods. Since the 1980s and 1990s, the (alpine) aborigines who have been close to the flat land have approached the lifestyle of the Han people, but the maintenance of tribal organizations has remained. The Bunun tribe has a patrilineal clan system; the Ami tribe is a matrilineal system, and the tribal leaders have important authority and responsibility; the Rukai and Paiwan ethnic groups have aristocratic systems and dual system.

In addition, Aboriginal music and craftsmanship are also quite distinctive. The making of pottery and glass beads of the Lukai tribe, the art of carving, the craftsmanship of the Bunun fur, and the kneading technique of the Zou tribe. The polymetal reed harpsichords of the Atayal and Taroko tribes, the multi-vocal chorus of the Bunun tribe, and the Ami tribal polyphonic chorus are the musical characteristics.

The cloth commonly used by the indigenous people is a self-woven "fan cloth" made of ramie. Adult men wear bright waist skirts, women wear long skirts, and like to use chicken tails and bird feathers as headwear. Aboriginals have the custom of tattoos, which are still preserved today, but the tattoo patterns are more and more hidden.
