A community of Bunun indigenous people in the Tengzhi (Husida) area of southern Taiwan describe themselves as "people without a tribe," having been repeatedly displaced over nearly a century due to colonial-era resettlement policies, forest governance restrictions, and extreme weather events including Typhoon Morakot's devastating 2009 floods. Their ancestral mountain villages have been officially designated uninhabitable, yet many community members still yearn to return, maintaining a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land. The situation highlights a broader tension facing Taiwan's indigenous peoples, who have often been displaced from traditional territories by forces outside their control and now face the additional challenge of passing on cultural identity to younger generations with no direct access to ancestral homelands.
