	Report to UN by Taroko People of Taiwan (1997)
		In the traditional customs of the Taroko, their land is owned jointly by the residents of the village; and the mountains, forests, and streams of each village are separated from those possessed by other villages by the natural features of the landscape.
		Now a hundred years later, the Taroko people have again taken up their spears; now the enemy is the cement companies that have stripped the skin from Hwalien's pristine mountains and showered cement dust on its tropical forests.
		This dilemma of the Taroko people is the dilemma of all the indigenous people of Taiwan: Shimen Dam in Taoyuan County drowned the villages of the Taiyal.

	Japan Focus
		The Taroko tribe of Northeastern Taiwan (formerly part of the Atayal tribe) was the last tribe to submit to Japanese rule, but only after the violent subjugation of an anti-Japanese uprising in the 1930s.
		The Taroko are related to the Atayal tribe of which May Chin is a member, being born of an Atayal mother and Mainlander father.
		Taroko claims to be different from the Atayal, based on linguistic and cultural criteria, nonetheless, are recorded in Japanese-era ethnographic studies (Taiwan Governor-General Provisional Committee 1996: 5).

		The Taroko tribal groups are occupied in the territory of Ching Kuan, Jen AI Township, Nantou County and the mountain area of Hsiu Lin Township, Hualien County.

		The name Taroko, as given by the aboriginals, mean "beautiful." Even that it's an understatement.
		The construction of the Gorge unearthed huge marble deposits--I would have guessed there is much marble to be found, as the drive took you through marble and granite formations that tower hundreds of feet above the mist generated by the raging river below.
		At one time, industries wanted to mine Taroko Gorge itself, but luckily for the Taiwanese and for the rest of us who has gotten to see this "eighth wonder of the world," the conservationists prevailed.
