Austronesian people began to arrive in Taiwan around 6,000 years ago, giving rise to the indigenous culture that still exists in the Central Mountain Range and along the eastern coastal areas of the island. Among the 19 tribes remaining nowadays, nine have managed to preserve their distinct customs and languages relatively well. These nine tribes are the Saisiat, Atayal, Tsou, Bunun, Ami, Rukai, Puyuma, Paiwan, and Yami.
The brand-new Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines houses a refined collection of 1,000 artifacts, mainly from these nine tribes. First of its kind in Taiwan, the museum is also dedicated to preserving indigenous culture and enhancing understanding among the different ethnic groups.

Incursions in North America The French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English arrived in North America in the 16th century, sporadically and in small numbers. Fishermen plied their trade off the Newfoundland coast from around 1500. Some Europeans hoped to find an alternative route to Asia (the Northwest Passage), wealthy civilizations, or precious metals, but few found what they sought. They did not however, confront an untamed wilderness but rather people who often lived in villages and towns. [(16th century) Library of Congress]

Quito, Ecuador, April 1989
There is an urgent need to organize an indigenous response to the celebration of the so-called "Discovery of America," now officially called by some governments "the Encounter of Two Worlds."
The entire length of the Corps of Discovery’s journey was Indian Country. On many occasions, Lewis and Clark’s survival and success depended on Indian people and the cultural lessons shared. Any complete commemoration of the bicentennial must prominently feature the perspectives of both the people native to the North American continent and President Jefferson’s explorers.

Although I'm not native, I've been doing quillwork for almost 30 years. My approach to this artform is contemporary, using modern materials and dyes. As an artist, I feel a responsibility to future generations to keep this medium vital and relative to an ever changing world. With this in mind, most of my jewelry is at much at home at the opera as it is at a rodeo. To encourage the evolution of quillwork, I teach the methods of quilling and promote a fresh look to where this artform could be taken. ---- Christy Ann Hensler's quillwork is *truely* amazing ----

Aboriginal paintings are the oldest living art tradition in the

song, dance and mythology of the land. The paintings we see on
canvas today were originally painted in the sand and only lasted
until the wind blew. Canvas is durable and has given the world a
chance to learn about the Aboriginals' 'dreaming', their way of
life and values.
