The Taiwanese television series, which focuses on young Aboriginal people moving to urban areas, began airing last Monday.

This show could become a series on the first indigenous television channel capable of attracting many viewers and is considered the first indigenous television channel in Asia.

The Aboriginal television series Hunter is aimed at a wider audience.

The television series titled Hunter follows the lives of two brothers from the Brunun tribe who move from the countryside to the city to start a business.

The film series will tackle issues such as culture shock and discrimination with a complicated love story.

The program’s creators said the series, which airs at 8 p.m. local time every night except weekends, appeals to both indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

The TV series will challenge public views of 12 aboriginal tribes, which make up less than 2 percent of Taiwan’s 23 million people.

Indigenous groups often feel marginalized by dominant society.

However, they hope that the 24-hour iTV or Indigenous Television Network will provide an opportunity for others to hear their voices, both at home and abroad.

The television channel will collaborate with indigenous television networks around the world, including the United States and Canada.

The television station’s broadcasts were a mix of news, entertainment and documentaries, giving the island’s natives new access to mainstream media for the first time.

“There is cultural diversity in Taiwan,” said Walis Peilin, who chairs the ministerial-level Indigenous Peoples Council and is a member of the Tayal tribe.

“Taiwan’s indigenous people must also have the right to access the media and transmit their unique culture and language.

“But we hope that all groups in Taiwan can support the station and respect each other’s differences of ideas,” he said.

A Hakka precedent

The TV channel was planned several years ago.

It is not the first station in Taiwan to broadcast ethnic programs.

Hakka Television, founded two years ago, serves the Hakka ethnic group, which makes up about 15 percent of the indigenous population that migrated to Taiwan from mainland China hundreds of years ago.

iTV directors hope discrimination against Aborigines will disappear

The TV channel represents the government’s efforts to promote the island’s indigenous culture, emphasizing its uniqueness and distinct identity from mainland China, which Taiwan still claims is part of its territory.

“Taiwan is multicultural, there are so many people from different cultures here,” said Pasuya Wen-chih Yao, head of the Taiwan Government Information Office.

“We need to know ourselves and also protect language, culture and art,” he said.

Indigenous groups complain that mainstream media rubber stamps them and ignores important issues that affect their lives.

They saw the new TV channel as an opportunity to create balance and challenge some of the prejudices most people in Taiwan have toward indigenous people.

This is a challenge for a small news team.

“We must listen to the voice of the people, the voice of the tribe,” said Kolas, of the Friends of Taiwan tribe, who works as deputy director and reporter for the TV station.

“Most indigenous people in Taiwan do not care about daily political activities. They face difficult problems such as unemployment and low education level. These problems will be our priority in the future,” he said. he declares.

Access capabilities

One of the problems facing TV channel planners was how to ensure that people living in remote areas and mountain communities could have access to TV channels.

The solution: install satellite receivers in homes.

Jim Lu of the Indigenous Peoples Council said the government had spent more than $1 million to install satellite equipment in more than 10,000 homes.

The plan is to triple that number.

Other viewers can receive the channel via cable television, which the government has designated as a “mandatory” television channel.

The TV channel itself planned to achieve this.

However, Taiwan is a media-heavy island with eight 24/7 news channels, five TV channels, 144 satellite TV channels, and 69 cable TV providers offering around 80 to 90 channels.

But if this TV channel can get viewers to question their attitudes toward aboriginal tribes, it could change Taiwanese society’s attitude toward unique tribes.
