Taiwanese Aborigine Song "Go to the Mountain, Go to the Seas" (上山下海)


I'm trying to find some other Taiwanese aborigine songs. I think this is a song by the Amis tribe or the sea people. I believe the Amis are descended from the seafaring Indonesians and Malaysians. The song's aboriginal song and melody are rather enchanting. Maybe, an Ifugao or an Igorot scholar would be able to decode this wonderful song.

If only the Philippines would show more respect to the indigenous tribes. It's a sad fact that Ifugaos would need to go to Taiwan to learn their weaving culture (read here). These natives (who I believe are Malay and Indos) get more appreciation than the Filipino indigenous people.
