Majia Granary Introduction
"Kubav" in the Paiwan language means granary, which is an important place for the storage of the tribe's products. Due to the impact of Typhoon Morakot, the residents of the Makaja tribe, who have primarily relied on agriculture for their livelihood, expanded to the Linari tribe and contemplated the need for an appropriate space to share the agricultural products and cultural crafts produced by the old tribe. The past life experiences have made the residents of Makaja realize the significance of the granary in their lives. Thus, through everyone's collective efforts, the traditional space for grain storage—Kubav Makaja Granary—has been enhanced to incorporate both industrial and cultural marketing functions. The Makaja Granary encompasses eight major aspects: marketing and sales of agricultural specialties, experience workshops for red quinoa, bicycle rentals, flavor meal supply stations, tourist information services, community history museums, guided ecological tourism, and cultural heritage performances. The people of Makaja hope that through the establishment of the Makaja Granary, the community's industry can concentrate its efforts to promote local industries and preserve the cultural heritage of the tribe. The Makaja Granary serves as a platform for the residents of the Makaja tribe to thrive in various aspects.
