The Austronesian-speaking Atayal live across the north-central region of Taiwan. Originally inhabiting mountain areas above a thousand meters where they practiced swidden horticulture, many communities were resettled to coastal lowland regions where they now practice wet rice cultivation. Social and territorial organization is based on sharing and participating in customary behaviors that are connected to religious beliefs and practices centered on ancestral spirits.
