Earlier this week, Taiwanese legislator Lin Chien-chi represented Taiwan in the sailboat event at the Open Masters Games in Abu Dhabi. <br /><br />Lin says her Indigenous Amis heritage is part of why she has been sailing for five years and loves the sport. As a traditionally seafaring people, the Amis are known for their ocean sports culture, like spearfishing, bamboo rafting and fishing. <br /><br />“I hope that by participating in this sport, I can connect with the ocean and promote the Amis community’s ocean sports culture,” Lin said.
