Note: Amis is the name used by the Puyuma tribe in Taitung for the Amis living in that area. It means "people to the north." As for the Aboriginals in Hualien County generally referred to as Amis, they have always referred to themselves as Pangcah.
註：阿美族，來自台東一帶卑南族人對台東阿美族人的稱呼，意思是北邊的人；至於花蓮被普遍稱作阿美族的原住民，則一直以「邦榨」自稱。
