Scope note
Cultures and styles of the Seediq people lived in Taiwan. In 2008 Seediq was officially recognized as an ethnic group distinct from the Truku people. The Seediq people primarily live in Renai Township, Nantou County and Hualien County. The Seediq language is constituted by three dialect clusters: Tada, Tgdaya and Truku. The traditional life centers on gaya (waya) and the belief in utux, while their social protocol has evolved through the encounter with the modern state and Christianity.
