The Taiwan Journal of Indigenous Studies (TJIS) has been established to provide a forum for intellectual discourse on Indigenous Studies development and policy implementation as it affects the lives of Taiwan as well as other part of the world. It is an initiative of the faculty at the College of Indigenous Studies (CIS), National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) and a group of indigenous professionals seeking to provide opportunities for a diverse audience to access the perspectives of a wide range of authors. TJIS accepts manuscripts in either Mandarin Chinese or English, and it publishes quarterly with funding from Council of Indigenous Peoples, Taiwan.
