The remaining tribes are quite sparsely populated: for example, the Kavalan, who once lived in the Ilan area before losing their land and moving southward to live close to the Amis, now number less than 1,100; and the Thao of Sun Moon Lake total only 626. The recently recognized 13th tribe, the Sakizaya, has just 65 members!
像是祖居宜蘭，後因失去土地流徙南遷，而長期依附阿美族人的噶瑪蘭族，目前人口不到 1,100 人；在日月潭邊的邵族有 626 人；剛剛正名為台灣原住民第 13 族的撒奇萊雅族，更少到只有 65 人！
