Welcome to Smangus, Taiwan

1.     Smangus is the name of a village in Xinzhu Taiwan.

2.     We are Atayal.

3.     One of the (14) different aborigine tribes in Taiwan.

4.     We live 1500 meter above sea level.

5.     Only until 1979 do we have electricity.

6.     Never before 1995 do we have complete roads to go out.

7.     It’s a 5 hours’ walk just to go to the nearest village for food supplies.

8.     Approximately 23 years ago, the oldest Red Cypress Tree ever found in Taiwan  was located.

9.     That opened the door from the outer civilization to Smangus.

10.  Together with the incoming swarms of tourists are the capital and economy so huge  that the innate nature of Smangus changed.

11.  By the year 1999, the town senile met together and concluded ways to share the flux  of income among everybody in the village.

12.  In older times, there were only 8 couples of Atayals managing lodges and  restaurants in Smangus.

13.  Gradually the whole township agreed to manage lodging business as a whole.

14.  By the year 2004, we Atayals agreed to set up a village pact called “Tnunun  Standards” in which 80% of the land in Smangus was sealed in one. There was no  longer any form of “private land” in the village.

15.  The Tnunun standards take care of education, healthcare, elder care, marriage,  funeral, and household building.

16.    All job vacancies open to those who are fit, sober, and efficient.

17.    This was regarded the breakthrough of the history in Smangus.

18.    Because in this pact, usage of land is at the disposal of meeting of all the villagers.

19.    There is no longer private land, for it belongs to the village.

20.    When there is work, working men eat together to lessen the burden on women.

21.    Hence, Smangus took a new look based on new ideology to be eco friendly in    most everything all villagers can think of.

22.    I, representing my tribe to speak today, would do everything I can to help my  people with my education.

23.    I think, our production skill is one of the many on the list that needs urgent  renovation.

24.    As a veteran tourist guide of Smangus, I would like to recommend the following  schedule if you are welcome to Smangus.
