Introduction: The relationship among the four major ethnic groups in Taiwan, namely mainlanders, Minnan people, Hakka and aborigines, almost constitutes the whole of Taiwanese political ecology. Themed by political democratization of Taiwan, the political game between mainlanders led by the Nationalist Party and Minnan people led by the Democratic Progressive Party has become the fundamental motivation for political development of Taiwan since 1970. However, since the Democratic Progressive Party returned to power in 2016, with the theme of transitional justice, the movement “Return Us Land” initiated by Taiwanese aborigines has become a sensitive factor in Taiwan ethnic relations, and has played an important role in promoting the development of Taiwan political ecology in the new period.This lecture will take you into the world ofTaiwanese aboriginesto learntheirhistory and cultureso as toexplore thesignificant influence of themovement “Return Us Land”on the future development of Taiwan political ecology.
