Overview

CIP distinguishes self-name Tao from anthropological and official Yami naming and identifies six Lanyu communities.

Its account describes tatala/cinedkeran boats, semi-subterranean houses and cooperative fishing and irrigation groups.

Tourism and labour migration changed livelihoods. Nuclear-waste opposition and Batanes exchanges illustrate community agency and cultural connections.
