The Yami tribe resides on Orchid Island of Taitung with the population around 3,500 (March, 2009). Because of its independent island life, traditional cultures are very well preserved. The patriarchal clans and fishing communities are in charge of the community affairs. They have abundant art and cultural creations, such as: canoes with beautiful carvings and silver utensils. Traditional houses are built underground to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Tribal ceremonies of a year go with the activities of capturing the flying fish. The hair dance of Yami women is unique among all tribes. As for the worrier dance of men, it demonstrates both strength and beauty.
