Taiwan's Aboriginal Groups

Today, there are thirteen officially recognized aboriginal ethnic groups in Taiwan: Atayal, Saisiyat, Bunun, Tsou, Paiwan, Rukai, Puyuma, Amis, Tao (or Yami), Thao, Truku, Kavalan, and Sakizaya, with a total population of about 482,000 living primarily in the mountain areas.

In addition, there are eight groups categorized as Pvipof-zok (pingpu/plains) peoples, namely, Ketagalan, Taokas, Pazeh, Papora, Babuza, Hoanya, Siraya, and the Kavalan. These people live mostly in lowland areas and have been largely assimilated into Han society.
