“…Given that most of these areas were occupied by Indigenous peoples, the Japanese colonial government had to control the locals to access the underlying natural resources. The term “Savage Governance,” first used in official Japanese documents in 1902 (Lin 2017:3), referred to a set of policies designed to control “Savage Country” and its inhabitants—the “savages”—during the Japanese colonial period. Savage Country in the Japanese period was composed of Indigenous territories on the east coast of Taiwan, the island of Botel Tobago off the east coast, and the mountainous core of Taiwan (Fujii 2001:1–14; Ishimaru 2008:2–99; Lin 2017:29–72).…”

As colonial power penetrated deeper into the mountains through the construction of military trails and police outposts, Japanese enterprises began to exploit the resources at the heart of the Indigenous territories.…”

“…This mass relocation of the Indigenous groups helped the Japanese gain full control over Savage Country. The Indigenous territories in the inner mountains were then nationalized, which permanently changed the landscape of the mountains of Taiwan (Fujii 2001:129–154; Lin 2017:29–72).…”

Root Seeking and Remote Sensing with the Bunun in the Mountains of Taiwan

Many Indigenous groups in Taiwan, including the Bunun, inhabited remote mountainous regions. Beginning in the 1930s, all mountain settlements were relocated to lower-lying areas by the colonial authorities. These groups lost the territories where they used to hunt, practice slash-and-burn agriculture, and carry out other social and cultural practices. Having being separated from their ancestral lands for decades, their knowledge of their former settlements and traditional ways of life is gradually disappearing. In recent years, there is a tendency among the younger generation of Indigenous people to organize and participate in roots-seeking expeditions. As their knowledge about the former settlements is limited, they seek help from the elderly—and archaeologists. Since 2014, I have collaborated with Bunun communities, recording their ancestors’ lands in the Lakulaku River Basin by joining archaeological surveys on roots-seeking trips. During these surveys, I had to learn Bunun values and gain knowledge of the Lakulaku River Basin via the bodily experience of moving through and being in the landscape with its traditional inhabitants. By applying remote-sensing technologies such as airborne lidar in our surveys, our team managed to identify and record settlements that were unfamiliar to the Bunun.
