Credit: Handout By Tuhi Martukaw

In this episode of the NüVoices series focusing on Taiwan, I spoke with Tuhi Martukaw, an Indigenous policy advocate, journalist, community organizer. We delve into what it means to be Indigenous, what reconciliation and activism look like today, as well as the communities’ complicated relationship with Taiwan politics and Taiwanese settlers. Tuhi shares her own journey of how she connected with her roots and addresses some common misconceptions. We discuss the history, politics, and political structures that impacted  (and continue to impact)  Indigenous communities across the island.
