About Taiwanese aborigines Taiwanese Han people Chinese name Taiwan The naming customs of Taiwanese aborigine s are distinct from, though influenced by, the majority Han Chinese culture of Taiwan . Prior to contact with Han Chinese, the Taiwanese aborigine s named themselves according to each tribe s tradition. The naming system varies greatly depending on the particular tribes. Some tribes do not have family names, at least as part of the personal name. Under the strong influence of Chinese culture and forces of cultural assimilation brought by Han settlers in the 17th century, the aborigines have gradually adopted Han names. In the 17th and 18th centuries, possession of a Han surname was considered to be a sign of being civilized, in part because adoption of a Han surname meant that that person was now entered into the population registration books and could be taxed. Upon possessing a Han surname, most of the lowland aboriginal tribes assimilated with the Han immigrants, and eventually no longer saw themselves or were seen as a distinct population. The handful of highland tribes generally kept separate names until after World War II when the government systematically assigned Han names to indigenous Taiwanese. Aborigines settled near Hakka communities were sometimes assigned Hakka people Hakka like family names. For instance, aboriginal pop singer A mei may have a name with Hakka characteristics. For a few decades in the first half of the 20th century under Japanese rule, a strict policy was put in place to quickly assimilate the island s inhabitants en masse by instituting Japanese name s. These names were generally abandoned in Taiwan after 1945 when Japanese rule ended. In the last two decades some aborigines have again taken up traditional names or chosen to emphasize ....

Unreferenced date February 2007 The concept of self determination has, since 2003, become a topic of some debate in Australia in relation to Indigenous Australians . In the early 1970s, the Aboriginal community approached the Government of Australia and requested the right to administer their own communities. This encompassed basic local government functions, ranging from land dealings and management of community centres to road maintenance and garbage collection, as well as setting education programs and standards in their local schools. The Federal Government assented with certain conditions and a central Aboriginal administrator called ATSIC Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was appointed and constituted to allocate and distribute funds to the various Aboriginal communities and to liaise with the Federal Government regarding the welfare of Aboriginal areas that required improvement and or funding. Some argued that this was a form of self determination or were, at the very least, initial step towards self determination because Aboriginal people were becoming a self contained people within Australia. In addition, Aboriginal people had recently acquired native title land rights following the Mabo decision of the High Court of Australia in the late 1980s. However, others have argued that this was not sufficient to be described as self determination, simply because the Federal Government retained and at times exercised its power over Aboriginal communities and ATSIC. It would seem although this view may be disputed that a people s independent law making power may be the great dividing line between self determination and merely steps towards self determination. The reason that the distinction came into dispute was because ATSIC was surrounded by controversy in 2004 2005. There were allegations of mismanagement and a few rumours circulated about substantial amounts of money that had gone missing or been given to third parties under unusual circumstances. ... more details
