| The population of Amis is about 179,000 (March, 2009). It is the largest among all indigenous tribes in Taiwan. The traditional social organization is mainly matriarchal. The male must move in with the female’s family as a son after getting married. Family affairs and property matters are decided by the female head of household. However, important matters as marriage or asset allocation should be co-decided with the uncles of the female householder. The public affairs about tribal politics, laws, wars and religions are dealt with by an institution consisting of males of different age classes. The most important traditional ceremony is the Harvest Festival and the most significant part is to celebrate males entering the age of manhood. |
