The Rukai have strong solidarity and emphasize collective action. Early this year many of the residents of the upper settlement decided to move together with all the residents of the lower settlement down to the lowlands. Only 10 households, still deeply attached to the land, decided to stay in their hometown. The enthusiasm of their old customers was also a force encouraging them to stay in Ali.
魯凱是一凝聚力強、強調集體行動的民族，今年初多數「上部落」族人決定伴隨家園已毀的「下部落」族人一起遷村下山，只有這 10 戶因為長期在部落奮鬥，對土地的感情深厚，最後仍決定留在美麗的原鄉。
