Taromak Tribe, Indigenous tribe settlement in Beinan Township, Taiwan
The Taromak Tribe lives across multiple villages in Beinan Township, with settlements in Dongxing and Xinshe. The community maintains traditional practices and ways of life within their established territory.
The tribe originally lived in the Kindoor mountains until 1923, when they were relocated to lower areas in Taitung County. This move during Japanese colonization marked a turning point in their history.
The tribe celebrates their annual harvest festival in July with swing games, ancestor worship ceremonies, and blessings from the tribal chief. These gatherings show how spiritual practices remain central to community life today.
You can arrange visits by contacting the tribal office to participate in cultural experiences like traditional food tastings and craft demonstrations. Advance planning will help you make the most of your time there.
