President Tsai Ing-wen has vowed to continue pushing for transitional justice for Taiwan’s indigenous peoples.
Tsai set up the Indigenous Historical Justice and Transitional Justice Committee under the Presidential Office in March 2017.
Tsai praised the committee Thursday during one of its meetings for helping map out policies. The president pointed in particular to the Indigenous Languages Development Act, the Education Act for Indigenous Peoples, and a revision to the Slopeland Conservation and Utilization Act.
Tsai also said the viewpoints of the indigenous people were taken into consideration during the development of guidelines for the 12-year school curriculum, as well as guidelines for cultural assets and the joint management of natural resources.
