Majia Granary Introduction
"Kubav" in Paiwan language means granary, which is an important place for storing the tribe's goods. After the devastating Typhoon Morakot, the people of the Makja tribe, who primarily lived off agriculture, expanded to the Linari tribe and began to realize the need for a suitable space to share the agricultural products and cultural crafts produced by the old tribe. Their past living experiences made the residents of the Makja tribe realize the importance of the granary in their lives. Therefore, with everyone's collective effort, the traditional storage space—Kubav Makja Granary—has been transformed to also serve the functions of industry and cultural marketing. Kubav Makja Granary encompasses eight major aspects: marketing and sale of agricultural products, red quinoa workshops, bicycle rentals, flavor meal supply station, tourism information services, local historical museum, guided ecological tour explanations, and performances of cultural traditions such as singing and dancing. The Makja people hope that by establishing the Kubav Granary, they can create a centralized platform for the local industry, harnessing collective power to promote local industries and record and preserve the cultural heritage of the tribe. Kubav Granary serves as a platform for the Makja tribe to express themselves in various aspects.
