Taokas people

Taokas people

Taokas (Chinese:道卡斯族) is one of a number of indigenous ethno-linguistic groups that inhabited the plains of western Taiwan. The Taokas were located in the areas around today's Taichung and Miao-li counties. Several Taokas groups have been historically linked to many revolts that plagued Taiwan during the Qing era (1683-1895). The Taokas were not always opposed to Han encroachment on their lands as several Taokas groups were involved in building the Ta-Chia Mazu Temple. Today, only a small number of people in the central city of Puli identify themselves as ethnic Taokas or even Taiwanese Aborigines.
