It was an important step for ATAYAL to meet representatives from the Council for Indigenous Peoples, Executive Yuan. This is the branch of the government that directly serves the indigenous people of Taiwan.

We shared our organization's mission to them and they were very supportive and eager to provide assistance. We shared ideas, and left the meeting feeling like we have begun a long-term and important working relationship.
