Tribal Story
Pakara'ac and the White Crab
The Pakara'ac Tribe is situated in Changbin Township, Taitung County. Legend has it that their ancestors moved from Ci Langasan to this place and found a rare white crab in the stream when they hunted and gathered food in the mountains. To combine the Amis term for a white crab, Kara'acay, with the name of the tribe's first chief, Kalitan Alac, comes the name of the tribe, Pakara'ac. In Pakara'ac, you can see the flowers in full bloom as if in a hidden paradise, a neat vegetable garden, clean and tidy public space and the rest stops that are waiting to surprise you! This is Pakara'ac, a place of warmth and happiness.
