The Saisiyat people - Indigenous Culture The saying goes that in the past, the Saisiyat people lived adjacent to the Taai tribe, who taught them agriculture, medicine, and ritual songs and dances. The Saisiyat regarded them as benefactors, and whenever they held festive ceremonies, they would invite the Taai to come and celebrate with them. However, the Taai often teased Saisiyat women, and after enduring it for a long time, the Saisiyat decided to take revenge, resulting in the deaths of many Taai. The surviving Taai cursed the Saisiyat, claiming that they would face years of disasters and poor harvests, which indeed came true. As a result, the Saisiyat people hold an annual "Spiritual Festival" to pray that the Taai no longer bring misfortune upon them.
