Description of Our Community: The main Sakizaya villages are in eastern Taiwan, Hualien. They were from the Hualien plain (it was called ki-ray plain). The ki-ray plane is located at the north end of Hua-Dong valley. The Mei-lune Mountain is in the middle. Form north to south is about 19km; from east to west is 9km. And it is like an arc.
According to the legend, the Sakizaya had 10 village, they are: Civawgan, Takoboan, Towapon, Cikep ,Pazik, Kenoy, Nabakoan, Tamasaydan, Cipawkan, Civarvaran. As the result of the failure in war, the Han-Race came to Hualien, avoiding from the Japanese control and the floods, the Sakizaya started to spread to other places. At the present, the Sakizaya are in Be-Pu (Hupo), Mei-lune (Pazik), Der-shing (Sakol), Kuo-fu (Cupo), Kuo-fu neighborhood (Kasyusyuan), Uy-mei (Apalu), San-shing (Cirakayan), Shui-lien (Ciwidian), Zi-chi (Karuruan) and Ma-li-unh (Maifor). The population is about 5000. We hope we can reveal the scene of Sakizaya by investigation, studying the bibliography and interview people related to the Sakizaya. We can let people know them by building this web page and help them to rise again.
Project Description: Sakizaya – The Vanished Racial .
In this monograph we will discuss the Sakizaya’s history and situation. We tried to record the rise, battle to Manchu Dynasty and migration of this race, and the racial history of hiding in the amiss tribe. From the master of ki-ray plain to being the vassal of other race, The Sakizaya did a lot regression for keeping their people alive. This shows the wisdom of The Sakizaya and revealed the fact “No one can help them at all” when they are in the current of the political disorder.
The Hualien plain was called “ki-ray”. The Amiss called Sakizaya as “Sakiraya”. We took the “ki-ray” as the name it is today. The mountaineering people know “ki-ray” very well. Ki-ray plane is also a well-known name in geography. However, for the most people, they don’t know about Sakizaya. There are only a few researches in this topic, even though we have a lot aboriginal study. Therefore the subject is very unique in Taiwan.
The gate of being existing is to understanding the history. The key to get alone with other people in peace is to realize the difference of them. The Sakizaya still in the Ki-ray plane today. This race is alive for right now. At the same time, to face the social environment don’t know them, we feel they are invisible. The primary job to get rid of the unfamiliar feeling is to study the Sakizaya history and give the history a complete and thorough description. The name of “Sakiraya” appeared in the Netherlands’ and Spanish era. In the early stage of Manchu Dynasty record can see that, too. But there is no depth in their description. The rest record is only the event of “Dagubuwan” at 1878. At that time, the Sakizaya lost their land and force some people had to exile. It had huge influence to them.
