Restorative justice in Taiwan's aboriginal societies: the example of the Atayal tribe(泰雅族)

ABSTRACT This study investigates the justice tradition of Taiwan's Atayal tribe and explores its connections to restorative justice, reparatory justice, retaliatory justice and retributive justice. We find that the Atayal justice model is influenced by its belief system, Gaga, which values harmony, redemption and relationships with Utux, the super nature. There is no punitive element in the Atayal conception of justice. Atayal mediation aims at generating reintegrative shaming and repairing harms. The study concludes that the Atayal justice model is very similar to restorative justice, partially related to reparatory justice and retaliatory justice, and not connected to retributive justice.
