Ishbukun

The Isbukun, or southern Bunun, are one of the communities of Taiwan's central mountains. Their oral history recalls a movement from country nearer the plains into the high valleys of Mai'asang, where they established a settlement beside the Jùndà River. For a long time this settlement was a centre of Isbukun life. The Bunun communities of the upper Zhuóshuǐ River and its tributaries formed a network of clans whose later movements carried them across the island's mountain ranges.
