Nationally Recognized Locally recognized Unrecognized Taokas (Chinese: 道卡斯族; pinyin: Dàokǎsīzú) is one of a number of Austronesian Indigenous ethno-linguistic groups that inhabited the plains of western Taiwan.
[3] Several Taokas groups have been historically linked to many revolts that plagued Taiwan during the Qing era (1683–1895).
Today, only a small number of people in the central city of Puli identify themselves as ethnic Taokas or even Taiwanese Aborigines.
The Taokas people have a long history of fishing and preserving their traditions and beliefs, including the worship of sea gods and the performance of traditional dances and music.
