Majia Granary Introduction
"Kubav" means granary in the Paiwan language and serves as an important location for storing the tribe's products. After the devastating Typhoon Morakot, the residents of the Makaja tribe, who had primarily relied on agriculture, expanded to the Linari tribe and contemplated the need for a proper space to share the agricultural products and cultural crafts produced by their old tribe. Their past experiences helped the Makaja residents realize the importance of a granary in their lives. Through collective efforts, the traditional space for storing grain—the Makaja Granary Kubav—has evolved to incorporate both production and cultural marketing functions. The Makaja Granary encompasses eight main aspects: marketing and showcasing local agricultural products, experiences at a red quinoa workshop, bicycle rental, a flavor meal supply station, tourism information services, a tribal cultural and historical museum, guided ecological tours, and cultural heritage song and dance performances. The Makaja people hope that by establishing the Makaja Granary, they can concentrate the tribe's industrial strengths, promote local industries, and document and preserve tribal culture. The Makaja Granary serves as a platform for the Makaja tribe members to thrive in various aspects.
