The Amis tribe, one of the Taiwanese indigenous tribes, performs a ceremonial dance called the "Palakaw" or "Pasar" during their annual Harvest Festival. In this dance, participants form a tight circle and side-step counterclockwise while singing a song said to have been inspired by the sound of a waterfall. The dance is performed to give thanks and ensure an abundant harvest, as well as to strengthen the community's unity and cultural identity.
