The Highland Aborigine constituency (Chinese: 山地原住民選舉區; pinyin: Shāndì Yuán Zhùmín Xuǎnjǔ Qū) is a multi-member constituency of the Legislative Yuan. Taiwanese indigenous people have elected representatives to reserved legislative seats since the 1970s.[1] Predecessors to both the Highland and Lowland Aborigine districts were established in 1994.[2] Since 2008, the Highland Taiwanese indigenous elect three members to the Legislative Yuan.
