To promote the development of indigenous literature, the Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP) has funded the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Cultural Development Association in publishing the Anthology of Taiwan Indigenous Literature. This 12-volume collection features representative works from nearly 130 indigenous writers. The project, which took three years to complete, will be officially unveiled at the 2025 Taipei International Book Exhibition, with a book launch event at the Linking Publishing Booth (B402).

The anthology comprises 53 short stories, 132 poems, 127 essays, and 30 literary critiques, providing a comprehensive overview of Taiwan's indigenous literary landscape and creative achievements. The collection spans multiple generations and styles, featuring both classic works and contemporary pieces from the past two decades, reflecting the evolution, diversity, and resilience of indigenous literature in response to changing times.

At the launch today (February 9), CIP Deputy Minister Calivat·Gadu emphasized that the preservation and development of indigenous culture has long been a key focus of the CIP. Literature serves as a vital medium for sharing and promoting indigenous culture, and this anthology not only documents the evolution of indigenous literature but also provides an essential reference for both domestic and international readers seeking to explore Taiwan's indigenous literary heritage.

The CIP continues to support indigenous language literary creation and translation initiatives, encouraging indigenous writers to express themselves in both their native languages and Chinese. By fostering indigenous-language literature through writing and reading, the CIP aims to preserve, revitalize, and pass down the rich cultural heritage of Taiwan's indigenous peoples.
