Thanks for posting this video. I've been looking for this for a long time. I saw this documentary some twenty years ago in Discovery Channel but only parts of it on a rather poor audio from my old TV. Still, the sounds I heard from the documentary then never left me, because I thought I recognized some of the words that they were speaking. Now, after watching this video now, some twenty years later on the internet on a better audio, I now understand why their words were familiar -- because their language share a lot with the Ivatan language of Batanes, Philippines (about 200 km south of Lanyu). As the narrator said "my ancestors came from the south". South of Lanyu is Batanes, Philippines. Yes the Tao people of Lanyu have a lot of things in common with the Ivatans of the Philippines. Someday I want to visit the land of the Tao.

💗 Wow! Very wonderful filming! I grew up in Taiwan but only heard about Orchids Island, never been there. This was an eye-opening experience.

Great documentary. Thank you so much for the effort, the discpline and the sharing of your amazing work.

Another one! Thank you! So happy to see more of your work! 🙏

Slice is 1 of my favorite here on youtube..

Great channel!!! I am so intrigued and fascinated about learning of the peoples and cultures and all the many languages of this world. It sad for me to think of all the ones that have been lost and forgotten. I try to teach my grand children about such things when we are together. Great content, great work.

Woah. This island yami is just next to my hometown island northern most last inhabited island in the Philippines ( Itbayat, Batanes). We called them " Irala" their language has quite similarity in our local language. Fun fact during Batanes Day Celebration their was an event which we have cultural exchange with them they come here in Batanes.

These people are the ancestors of modern pacific islanders especially the polynesians. their language spoken is more related to the Austronesian speakers. its good to document such unique cultures because it proves their continuity for posterity use and awareness.

"Yami" is actually an exonym. They would rather call themselves "the Tao", which is now their official name recognized by the government. A recent movie on the Tao peaple is "Long Time No Sea" (2018), portraying an interesting psychological struggle between the efforts of reviving the traditional Tao marine culture and the pressure from the outside world. I enjoyed the performance of the boy actor Si Pangoyod (aka Chung Chia-Chun). He is a genius and deserves all the awards.

Theirs a lot of similarity on the onset ritual practice before the first fishing day of the flying fish ( dibang called locally in Batan Island) season in march to may, of the Ivatan in Batanes. The dialect they speak had a lot in common with the us in Batanes ( Orchids flowers are common in Mt. Iraya, the highest Peak in Batanes), the Northern most Inhabited Island of the Philippines. ( The last frontier ). Merry Christmas !!! Thanks Slice

They look like Philippines, i think they share alot in common. Wonderful life style.

These indigenous people, are actually practising very sound principles of conservation of those flying fish.Regulated catches at specific time/ season.This prevent the over exploitation of this resource allowing it time to replenish it self. There is much we can learn from them, how to live in harmony with nature and conserve the ecosystems anyhere in the world.

Addicted to your content #SLICE🙏❤🗻🗻🗻🌲🌴🌊🐟🐠🐪🐃🍏🍋🌏

They must hang the fish before sunrise so that it's wind dry before the sun comes up. It will prevent the flies from laying their eggs in the fish causing worms. This is a technic that we used for smoking fish when I was a child. My father used to catch fish - sometimes up to 150 a day. We would overnight the fish in salt water and hang it before sunrise. We used to smoke catfish as it's not a good fish for frying. How I miss those old days! 😍👌🏾🌹

This people are more Filipino in culture than of Taiwanese, only thing that set them apart is that there Island is nearest to Taiwan, so in short it is part of Taiwan's boundary. If only this Island was more of in between Taiwan and Philippines maybe we can have a hold to them for they are more Filipinos.
