Over 400 years ago, the land on which we stand was known by a chilling name: “Beitou,” meaning “witch” in the Ketagalan language. This is the Ketagalan Culture Center. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Ketagalan people, the original inhabitants of the Taipei basin. Established in 2002, the Ketagalan Culture Center is much more than just a museum. This striking 10-story building, rising from the site of a former Shinto shrine, houses a treasure trove of indigenous artifacts and art. Here, within these walls, you can trace the history of the Pingpu tribes through their intricate crafts and everyday objects. But the Ketagalan Culture Center is also a living, breathing cultural hub. The center regularly hosts performances, workshops, and gatherings. These vibrant events offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of indigenous traditions. They provide a space for the urban indigenous community to connect and share their heritage. Should you find yourself yearning for deeper knowledge, the Ketagalan Culture Center offers a haven for your curiosity. Their thematic library, brimming with books on indigenous culture and art, invites you to delve deeper into the fascinating world of Taiwan’s first inhabitants.
