Global Affairs: Taiwan: whose narrative has not been told? Tuesday at Shoreline Community College

Saturday, April 14, 2018


Taiwan: whose narrative has not been told?
Christianity as the Ethnic Identity of Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan

Mayumi Steinmetz
Japanese Language and Asian Studies
Shoreline Community College

Tuesday, April 17, 2018 - 12:30-1:30 PM
Shoreline Community College, Building 9000, Room 9208


Did you know that Taiwan has been home to Austronasian-speaking indigenous peoples for thousands of years? In the 19th century, these 16 tribes lost their sovereignty and now live under the shadow of the dominant culture.

Professor Steinmetz visited Taiwan for four months last year to learn more about the story of the indigenous peoples of Taiwan, including interviewing several leaders of the indigenous people.

She found the indigenous tribes to be resilient and unified, with a strong ethnic identity. They are united by their history of struggle and hardship, but also by the adoption of Christianity. This conversion has helped them cope with the acculturation process under both Japanese and Chinese authority. The majority of these tribes confess Christianity as their religion, in contrast with four percent of the general Taiwanese population.

Professor Steinmetz’s research was supported by a Taiwan Fellowship grant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of China.

Lecture: Financial Wellness and Elder Law - Tuesday

Sunday, February 18, 2018



Richmond Beach Community Association presents a Senior Health and Wellness Speaker Series in February

Richmond Beach Community Association is hosting a series of speakers on senior health and wellness during the month of February. The next meetings will occur on February 20 and 27. Both meetings will start at 7:00pm and will be held in the lower level of the Richmond Beach Congregational Church at 1512 NW 195th Street in Shoreline.

The meetings are free and open to all. Whether you are a senior, have a senior in your family or plan to someday become a senior, this series is designed to educate and inform you on three very important topics: housing options, finance/elder law and care options for seniors.

Financial Wellness and Elder Law - February 20

Financial wellness is having an understanding of your financial situation and taking care of it in such a way that you are prepared for financial changes. For seniors, financial wellness can be thrown off balance by unexpected expenses, illness or even theft.

Maggie Knowles of Maggie Knowles Productions has been helping seniors for years manage their finances. Knowles owns her own bookkeeping business and will talk about how seniors can take better care of their finances independently and the signs when they need additional help with their finances. She’ll also speak on what kinds of help with money matters would keep seniors more independent for a longer time.
