Overview[edit | edit source]
The Green and Blue Party is an indigenous rights party that primarily operates in the Eastern Isles, though affiliated with the Indigenous Alliance, a group of political parties that promote indigenous culture. Mainly Green and Blue is a center to center-left, though it is somewhat big-tent, as its primary focus is to represent the Paiwan, San-Dep, and Saroah ethnic groups. Its leader, Kao Li-Hua and Martin Chang-yi are both MPs, with Martin Chang-Yi being the Minister of Indigenous Affairs under the 2nd Zhang and 2nd Chavez Governments. Chang-Yi when elected in 2012 was the first, Paiwanese-Slokasian MP. Since then Chang-yi has proposed a number of bills, mostly involving indigenous affairs. The Green and Blue Party's most important political impact is the 2019 Indigenous Language Improvement and Diversity Act(ILIDA). This required native languages on government forms and buildings for areas with a sizable Indigenous population.
