On Aug. 1, President Tsai Ing-wen formally apologized to indigenous people. However, many were dissatisfied as they felt the government did not give them rights to investigate for transitional justice. On Aug. 3, indigenous groups gathered on Ketagalan Boulevard to protest. In the afternoon, President Tsai came to meet with them and listen to their concerns. She invited the protesters into the presidential office to hold a meeting on the issues.
Dozens of elderly indigenous people waited under the hot sun to be allowed into the Presidential Office for the official apology made by President Tsai Ing-wen on Aug. 1. However, the actual form of the apology caused controversy, with singer Ayal Komod criticizing on Facebook the way that elders were called up on stage as though to meet an emperor and how young people protesting were turned away from the Presidential Office by police.

You are very busy, so we helped you by bringing all the suggestions from the tribes, but what sort of attitude did you have?
==MAYAW BIHO Film director==
Such a grand president, such insignificant tribe people, is that how you make an apology?
Indigenous representatives were even more angry that Tsai said that the government would set up a historical transitional justice commission, but did not give it any power to investigate, without this it would be unable to uncover the truth. They planned to protest long-term on Ketagalan Boulevard, but in the afternoon Tsai came to talk to them. She hugged singer Panai Kusui and sat down to listen to the protesters concerns. Panai said what they wanted was real transitional justice and Tsai responded.

We've been cheated over and over for a long time, and now we feel once again, we've been cheated. Let's start the commission first, to clarify all the issues, then we can amend the law accordingly.
Tsai emphasized that currently there was no law and so the first stage of the historical transitional justice was to establish a commission to clarify all the issues. Tsai invited the protesters to come into the building to hold a meeting about the commission.

數十位上了年紀的原住民,在烈日下,等待唱名,才能進入總統府,蔡英文在8月1號正式以總統身份,向原住民道歉,但儀式過程,卻引發爭議。連歌手張震嶽也在臉書上開砲,形容像是皇帝欽點,叫原住民上台,接受道歉,實在畸形,連當天想把部落心聲,接交到總統府的部落青年,也被警察阻擋在外。
==為歷史正義而走發起人 馬躍.武道==
(蔡總統)你非常忙
我們幫你把 走去部落
把每個議題帶過來
你這是什麼態度啊
==紀錄片導演 馬躍.比吼==
非常大的總統
非常渺小的族人
是道歉的樣子嗎?
原住民更加不滿,蔡英文針對原住民轉型正義,表明說會設立委員會,卻沒有實質調查權,要如何還原真相,原本打算要待在凱道,長期抗爭,下午,蔡英文突然現身。
給原住民歌手巴奈,一個大擁抱,聆聽原住民們的訴求,巴奈哽咽表示,要政府給予真正的轉型正義,蔡英文也做出回應。
==總統 蔡英文 v.s 原民歌手 巴奈==
我們一直被騙很久 一直被騙
到這一次 我都覺得我在被騙
我們先開這個委員會
釐清所有問題
可以做的 我們就先做
要修法的 再做後續處理
強調沒有法源,因此,現階段原住民轉型正義,只能先設立委員會來處理,蔡英文也邀請原住民,進入總統府開會,一同為原住民轉型正義來努力。
