“…A further search of the YHRD release reveals no match among 17,384 haplotypes. Only one match (H102) was observed with the Atayal population [ 21 ]. A median-joining network analysis for the Paiwan sample based on the YFiler haplotypes (omitting the loci with mutations at different repeat blocks DYS389II, DYS390, DYS385ab and DYS448) shows 36 different haplotypes occurring more than once.…”

“…In order to analyze the relationship of the Paiwan tribal people to other Austronesian-speaking (Atayal, Malay and Filipino) and non-Austronesian-speaking neighbouring populations from Taiwan, South Eastern China and Japan, we compared the most widely studied minimal 9-locus haplotypes (minHt) of the Paiwan via AMOVA with published data from several reference populations. In total, 2112 reference samples from the following populations (all published and fully referenced in the YHRD) we used: 805 Taiwanese from Taiwan, YHRD Accession Numbers 003340 and YA003193 [ 19 , 20 ], 170 Atayal from Taiwan, YA003524 [ 21 ], 109 Han Chinese from Minnan, YA003308 [ 22 ], 76 Filipinos from Manila, YA003202 [ 23 ], 211 Filipinos from Luzon, YA003206 [ 24 ], 334 Malays from Malaysia, YA003278 [ 25 ], 113 Bidayuh from Malaysia, YA003415 [ 26 ], 103 Iban from Malaysia, YA003416 [ 26 ], 104 Melanau from Malaysia, YA003417 [ 26 ] and 87 Japanese from Okinawa, YA003205 [ 27 ]. All pairwise comparisons between the indigenous Paiwan and Atayal and the other populations show large Φ st values and are significant at the 5% level (see Fig.…”

The distribution of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) haplotypes was determined in a population of Taiwanese Paiwan aboriginals. Using 17 Y-STR markers, a total of 135 haplotypes were observed, 102 of which were unique. The overall haplotype diversity for the 17 Y-STR loci tested was 0.9922 and the discrimination capacity was 0.6490. In addition, three novel intermediate alleles at the DYS448 locus were also found.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00414-009-0416-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Confirmed by genetic analyses to be close relatives of the Polynesian people (Wu et al 2009), the Atayal have a hunting culture that is naturally classified second only to farming work in forests. In addition to burning cultivation and crop rotation, hunting is a crucial aspect of life.…”

Atayal’s identification of sustainability: traditional ecological knowledge and indigenous science of a hunting culture

The history of Taiwan's Indigenous peoples is not well developed in written form, but has been passed down in oral form based on memories from the collective consciousness. However, tracing the cultural roots of Indigenous peoples' concepts of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and science is necessary to more deeply engage with Indigenous epistemologies. The main purpose of this narrative inquiry is to explore traditional concepts of the Indigenous Atayal aborigines of gaga (moral rules) and utux (faith) from a hunting culture, which has constructed their sustainability. This study was performed using qualitative social sciences. We listened to and collected stories by local tribes that live at elevations of 300-1300 m in northern Taiwan, and then conducted an analysis based on a joint construction of cultural meanings from rightsholders such as Atayal officers, tribe leaders, and local hunters. Using concepts from TEK, we determined how these concepts of gaga and utux became established in the lives of the Atayal people, and how Indigenous Atayal hunters have devoted their skills to maintaining the culture which sustains their resilient landscapes and ecosystems. Through the special cultural connotations of hunting knowledge and specifications, the hunting behavior of Taiwan's Atayal can shape a harmonic balance with ecological systems, and facilitate learning about competition and rules of survival in the natural environment.

“…Action protocols to these kinds of populations have to be adapted: type as many markers as possible, not only autosomal STR but also mitochondrial DNA and sexual chromosome markers and characterize those one that better describe the population, and also get genetic information of close relatives as far as direct references of the individual. are closely related and are more similar in terms of population diversity [11].…”
