I believe this is a Taiwanese aboriginal symbol... what does it mean? what tribe was is from?
I am very interested in this emblem and also by Taiwanese Aboriginies, from them I have some of my ancestry, from Chinese I get the rest...
I'm sure some of you very knowledgeable historians could help me discover more about this! :clapping:

haven't gotten a reply from naruwan

but according to Dr. Michael Rudolph, a chinese history professor, the design is from the Paiwan and Rukai tribes of Taiwan... they're around the south
