Folder of 1999 Taiwan Aboriginal Culture Stamps. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.

Mint & never hinged(mnh).
The photo is only for your reference.
The label of the stamps show top half( or low half) map of Taiwan.

The 9 themes of the stamps are described below:
(I) Atayal--Ancestor Festival:
After the millet harvest in the summer, the Atayal people gather to dance and sing with bamboo sticks in their hands in order to worship their ancestors and to pray for a good weather and a bountiful millet harvest.
(II) Saisiat--Festival of the Dwarfs:
This festival commemorates the legendary dwarfs who taught the Saisiat how to farm. It acknowledges Saisiat gratitude to these dwarfs, as well as the resentment the dwarfs must feel toward the Saisiat. (According to legend, after learning the dwarfs´ farming skills, the Saisiat pushed the dwarfs off a bridge, fearing that the little men desired their women.) The ceremony starts at night with songs and dances and ends the next morning. This stamp shows an array of "hip bells" used by dancers in the ceremony.
(III) Bunun--Eight-part contrapuntal vocals:
After the sowing ceremony, the Bunun people sing a "millet harvest song," using eight-part contrapuntal vocals, a unique feature of Bunun music that is famous the world over.
(IV) Tsou--Victory Festival:
During the rule of emperor Kangxi in the Ching Dynasty, the Tsou people were given court robes and silver plates for their assistance in suppressing a revolt. The festival is held once every two years, either in February or August. An occasion to worship the god of heaven and the war god, it serves to instill tribal solidarity.
(V) Rukai-Harvest Festival:
Bakig millet biscuits is an important part of the festival. The Rukai people predict the weather and the amount of rainfall based on the relative moistness or dryness of the baked biscuits. It is held in August every year to welcome the beginning of the next year´s agricultural cycle.
(VI) Paiwan--Maleveq (five-year rite):
This "Bamboo Festival" is held once every five years. In it they observe a unique custom of using bamboo rods to stab at rattan balls in the hope of attaining good fortune. The long bamboo poles represent the prayers of the people wishing for safe farming and hunting and good weather. This ceremony also serves to assuage the spirits of the members of the tribe who have drowned.
(VII) Puyunia--Harvest Ceremony:
Millet is the Puyuma´s main crop. The tribal shaman conducts the ceremony as they put the harvested millet into storehouses.
(VIII) Ami--Harvest Ceremony
It is held every year in July or August. Apart from its agricultural meaning, it is also the most important social event of a year, and it is full of the cheerful songs and graceful dances that are characteristic of the Ami.
(IX) Yami--Boat Ceremony:
The Yami people traditionally made their living from the sea, and a fishing boat is considered a man´s most important possession. This ceremony celebrates the first launching of a newly carved boat. These are always important events for all of Orchid Island.
