Yami
Yami tribe is located in Orchid Island of Taitung with the population of more than 2,700. It is the only oceanic tribe in Taiwan; therefore their culture is kept perfectly.

Yami tribe has no leadership system. When disputes between people appear, relatives are called on to solve it. The fathers or men's groups as well as the fishing community administer the community affairs. The creations of art and culture are abundant, e.g. the carving boats, silvery utensils, the pottery, and the mud dolls. Traditional houses are built underground to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Tribal ceremonies are held according to the activities of capturing the flying fish. Flying fish is regarded being holy. Yami women hair dancing is a special tribal performance. Men’s dancing shows both power and strength.
