Belonging to the ancient Indo-Pacific Austronesian ethnic family, the Kavalan people are classified as one of an acknowledged twelve Ping-pu plains aboriginal groups, who lived in the lowlands, river valleys, and coastal areas.
According to the classification given by anthropologists, aside from the Kavalan people, Taiwan's plains aborigines also include Ketagalan, Siraya, Pazeh, Makatao, Taokas, Papora, Babuza, Hoanya, Kakabu, Tavolong, and Kau-kaut groups.
Many Ping-pu groups have suffered assimilation and drops in population due to migrants and settlers who came from China and colonial powers over the past 400 years.

Not long time ago, my neighbor, the Hoanya man, asked me why I had not adopted my mother's name in my full name.
According to the Pangcah maternal tradition, the mother's name always comes after the child's given name so that everyone in the niyaro' (the tribe, the village) can know to which loma' (family) the child belongs.
The Hoanya man therefore suggested me to replace my father's Japanese name with my mother's "Mei-lun."
