Suteji Hugu
Regional Coordinator for East Asia, ICCA Consortium
About
Hugu is based in Pongso no Tao in Taiwan, and in 2000 co-founded the Cultural Taiwan Consortium, a national NGO that works towards an integrated national identity by seeking connectedness to the land and nature. He assisted in launching the Taiwan Indigenous Conserved Territories Union (TICTU), which today federates 748 tribal communities. Hugu’s vision of restoring Indigenous territories is about tribal communities deeply embedded in their ecological habitats; indigenous rights fully implemented by traditional institutions; local knowledge and land ethics adaptively applied; and collaborative livelihoods achieving common wellness for all living beings.
