Saisiyat

The Saisiyat ("true people") are an indigenous people of Tawian, part of the larger Taiwanese aborigine ethnic group. Currently, there are between 4,000 and 5,000 members of the Saisiyat, making them either the second or the second smallest aboriginal group in Taiwan. The Saisiyat inhabit western Tawian, overlapping the border between Hsinchu and Miaoli. They are divided into the Northern Branch (Wufeng in the the mountainous Hsinchu area) and the Southern Branch (Nanya and Shitan in the highlands of Miaoli), each with its own dialect.

Names

Saisiyat is sometimes rendered as Saiset, Seisirat, Saisett, Saisiat, Saisiett, Saisirat, Saisyet, Saisyett, Amutoura, or Bouiok.
