Australia isn't the only country with an indigenous population. Taiwan also has a rich and diverse Aboriginal culture.

Several mysteries surround Taiwan's nearly 390,000 aborigines. Scientists don't know exactly how long they have lived on the island or where they came from.

The best guess is that the forefathers of the Aboriginal people living in Taiwan today came from either the Malay peninsula/Indonesian archipelago, Mongolia or Polynesia at least 10,000 years ago.

Considering the diversity that exists between nine defined tribes, some scholars have speculated that Taiwan's aborigines may have origins in all three areas!
