A landmark ruling from Taiwan’s top court will tomorrow determine the scope of Indigenous peoples' traditional hunting rights.
The case began in 2013 with the prosecution of a Bulun Indigenous hunter, and will decide whether wildlife conservation laws unduly restrict the rights of Indigenous people.
Indigenous hunter Baubu Caljas says having to ask the Chinese government for the right to hunt is 'unfair'.
"The [Republic of China] government took over our homeland a few decades ago. We, the Indigenous people of Taiwan, have existed on this island living with our lives for millennia," said Mr Caljas.
"Did the government ask for the “right” to rule over us when they took control?”
