Mayrinax

Mayrinax is associated with Atayal communities of the Wènshuǐ River valley in northwestern Taiwan. The river, called Rinax by local Atayal speakers, rises among high ridges and flows into the Hòulóng River. Oral histories of the Tabilas community trace families through a series of mountain and river settlements before they established their later home. During the Qing period, some families moved through the Wènshuǐ country amid conflict and the search for places to cultivate.
