It was reported on the 10^th that after parents revert to their traditional indigenous names, children who still use their Chinese surnames will lose their indigenous peoples' status. To clarify, the Council of Indigenous Peoples has stated that if parents revert to their traditional indigenous names while their children continue to use their Chinese surnames, they will not lose their indigenous status.

The Council of Indigenous Peoples stated that according to Article 1059 of the Civil Code, in the past children could only use their father or mother's surname.  However, when parents reverted to traditional names, some children were forced to use traditional names as they had to follow this rule. However, after the Status Act for Indigenous Peoples was amended on January 3, 2024, when the Council consulted with the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice, it was clearly stipulated that if parents revert to their traditional names, their children may retain their original Chinese surnames or revert to their traditional names as they wish, and they will not lose their indigenous status. This amendment responds to the protection of indigenous peoples' identity rights stipulated in Constitutional Court Judgment Xian-Pan 4 of 2022.

The Council of Indigenous Peoples emphasized that to cooperate with the amendment of the Name Act on May 29, 2024, in addition to encouraging indigenous peoples to revert to their traditional names, the Council of Indigenous Peoples launched the "Three-Year Plan for Promoting Indigenous Peoples to Register Their Traditional Name (from 2024 to 2026)". The plan will simplify the reissuance or recording of certificates and licenses involved when reverting to traditional names, and the Council will proactively coordinate name revisions within the relevant government systems to reduce the inconvenience that indigenous peoples will encounter when reverting to their traditional names.

The Council of Indigenous Peoples stated at the end that the traditional names of indigenous peoples are not only a symbol of personal identity, but are also closely related to the tribe's history, land, beliefs, natural environment, and family relationship. The use of traditional names and the cultural significance of names are both unique. The Council of Indigenous Peoples encourages everyone, including government agencies and the public, to learn more about the traditional names of indigenous peoples to increase awareness of indigenous peoples' culture.
