Overview
Humans and other animals often engage in multispecies relations that go beyond classical definitions of \"domestication,\" not least because there are political dimensions to those relations. External interference with human-animal relationships has notably been part of indigenous experiences of colonialism and postcolonialism. I examine here changes in the triangular relationship between humans, dogs, and pigs among the indigenous Seejiq Truku of Taiwan. Dogs, as hunting companions, are traditionally associated with men's work; pigs, used in ancestral sacrifices, are aligned with women's work. Pigs are mediators with the spirit world, as ancestor spirits respond to regular pig sacrifices by providing prey to hunters. Dogs are important as hunting companions that make it possible to catch boars and other animals. These human-animal relations have undergone change because of the integration of the Seejiq into new markets, the state, and legal regulations about both hunting and the keeping of animals. Human-animal relations also articulate with dynamics of gender and class in a changing political economy. The Seejiq frame their intrahuman and interspecies relations in terms of Gaya, their sacred ancestral law. By affirming the value of their particular type of multispecies community, the Seejiq demonstrate resilience and a strong defense of sovereignty.

Los seres humanos y otros animales a menudo se involucran en relaciones con múltiples especies que van más allá de las definiciones clásicas de \"domesticación,\" en particular porque hay dimensiones políticas sobre estas relaciones. Interferencias externas con las relaciones humano-animal notablemente han sido parte de experiencias indígenas de colonialismo y postcolonialismo. Examino aquí los cambios en la relación triangular entre humanos, perros, y cerdos entre los indígenas Seejiq Truku de Taiwan. Los perros como compañeros de caza, son tradicionalmente asociados con el trabajo de los hombres; los cerdos, usados en sacrificios ancestrales, están alineados con el trabajo de las mujeres. Los cerdos son mediadores con el mundo espiritual, como espíritus ancestrales responden a sacrificios regulares de cerdos proporcionando presas a los cazadores. Los perros son importantes como compañeros de caza que hacen posible atrapar jabalíes, y otros animales. Estas relaciones humano-animal han experimentado cambios debido a la integración de los Seejiq en los nuevos mercados, el estado, y las regulaciones legales acerca tanto de la caza como la crianza de animales. Las relaciones humanoanimal también se articulan con las dinámicas de género y clase en una economía política cambiante. Los Seejiq enmarcan sus relaciones entre humanos y entre especies en términos de Gaya, su ley sagrada ancestral. Al ratificar el valor de su tipo particular de comunidad de múltiples especies, los Seejip demuestran resiliencia y una fuerte defensa de su soberanía.
