Pa'kuali'

Pa'kuali' is an Atayal community in the mountains of northwestern Taiwan. Its name is associated with an eagle's nest on a high peak overlooking the surrounding country. According to the recollections of elders, ancestors moved across the mountains to cultivate land farther south, then returned to slopes near Pa'kuali'. As farmland became scarce, families dispersed and formed smaller settlements. Mountain paths linked the community with neighbouring Atayal settlements and with the country to the west.
