Makaja Granary Introduction
"Kubav" in the Paiwan language means granary, which is an important place for storing the tribe's products. Due to the aftermath of Typhoon Morakot, the villagers of the Makaja tribe, who relied mainly on agriculture, moved to the Linari tribe and contemplated the need for a proper space to share the agricultural products and cultural crafts produced by the old tribe. Also, the life experiences of the Makaja villagers made them realize the significance of granaries in their lives. Therefore, through everyone's collective efforts, Kubav Makaja Granary, which serves as a traditional space for storing grains, has also integrated functions of industry and cultural marketing. The Makaja Granary encompasses eight major aspects: marketing and sales of agricultural specialties, red quinoa workshop experiences, bicycle rentals, flavor meal supply stations, tourist information services, tribal history and culture museum, guided ecological tourism, and cultural heritage song and dance performances. The Makaja people hope that through the establishment of the Makaja Granary, the industrial concentration window of the tribe can leverage collective power to promote local industries and preserve and document tribal culture. The Makaja Granary serves as a platform where the Makaja tribe can thrive in various aspects.
