Description

What does it mean to be Indigenous in Taipei? Lahok Ciwko, an Amis (Pangcah) youth raised in the capital, shares his story of growing up disconnected from his roots and culture, facing prejudice and microaggressions from all sides, and reclaiming his identity through learning and advocacy. Now at NTU’s Indigenous Students Resource Centre, he helps others do the same.
