This has been a long time coming. I'm happy to see this for the Siraya community. I hope the other indigenous groups seeking this recognition also get it.

Oh, who are the Siraya peoples, please..?

Indigenous Taiwanese, from the area now called Tainan. From what I can tell the name Taiwan comes from the Sirayan language.
