Taiwan – The limits of indigenous hunting rights in Taiwan (Scott Simon, East Asia Forum)

June 30, 2021

On 7 May, Taiwan’s Constitutional Court made a ruling in Interpretation 803 about laws pertaining to hunting by Indigenous people. Activists had hoped the ruling would be a decisive legal case like Australia’s Mabo Case, which overturned the doctrine of terra nullius, or Canada’s Delgamuukw Case, which upheld Aboriginal title. Taiwan’s Indigenous activists expected the Court to uphold the 2005 Indigenous Peoples Basic Law, which promises Indigenous self-government and autonomy, supports traditional biological knowledge, permits hunting for cultural or subsistence purposes and respects Indigenous peoples’ choices about resource utilisation.
