This is from Wikipedia : The Rukai (Chinese: 魯凱族) are one of Taiwan's aboriginal peoples. They speak the Rukai language and live in the mountains of southern Taiwan. As of the year 2000, the Rukai numbered 12,084 — making up 3% of Taiwan's total indigenous population and, as such, the fifth-largest indigenous group.[1] The Rukai were also called Tsarisen, which means "people living in the mountain".
