via Bastille Post, 11 July 2024: Posting with some caveats. A Taiwanese Amis girl traced her genetic roots to Fujian, China, through the Keqiutou archaeological sites, as reported by a Hong Kong-based online newspaper. The narrative aims to link the Austronesian homeland to Fujian.
“We Amis people belong to the Austronesians. As children, we were taught that we originated in Taiwan. But since arriving on the mainland, I found out that we actually come from Pingtan. I wanted to come here and learn more about the story of the Austronesians,” said Lailai.
Indigenous peoples populating territories in and around the Pacific and Indian Oceans, including the Amis, are known as Austronesians.
