Who is Yami people?
The Tao, originally recognized as Yami, are a Taiwanese aboriginal people, native to tiny outlying Orchid Island in Taiwan. The Tao are an Austronesian people linguistically and culturally closer to the Ivatan people of the Batanes islands in the Philippines than to other aboriginal peoples on the main island of Taiwan. The word "Tao" means "person" or "people" in the Tao language and all Philippine languages. The Tao people are traditionally good at making balangays, which is a symbol of their tribe.
In 2000 the Yami numbered 3,872. This was approximately 1% of Taiwan's indigenous population.
