Ljaucu Zingrur, Minister of the Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP), personally attended the premiere of " A Century of Indigenous Wounds: Key Historical Events of Taiwan’s Indigenous Peoples " today (April 2). The event featured the screening of three historical documentaries and short dramatizations: " The Truku War, " " The Cepo' Incident, " and " The Topa Incident. " These productions will first be broadcast on Taiwan Indigenous Television (TITV) and are set for international promotion across more than ten countries, including Japan, New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific islands, and Southeast Asia. The aim is to present to the world the significant historical accounts of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples as they defended their homelands against colonial invasion.

According to the CIP, the A Century of Indigenous Wounds project had a total budget of NT$42.9 million and was developed over three years. Each of the three historical episodes consists of a 55-minute documentary and a 30-minute dramatized short film. These works are based on a series of historical books published by the CIP and were created through rigorous archival research, consultations with scholars and experts, and extensive field interviews, faithfully reconstructing the events and their long-term impacts on Taiwan’s indigenous communities.

The CIP hopes this series will deepen public understanding and awareness of indigenous history and culture. These productions not only serve as a testament to Taiwan’s multicultural coexistence and shared resilience but also function as a key tool in advancing transitional justice and cultural equity. Moving forward, the CIP will continue to invest in audiovisual storytelling and collaborate with indigenous filmmakers to expand the global reach of indigenous narratives, promoting equality and sustainable cultural diversity.
