In Rukai society, boys from an early age follow their parents as they go hunting in the mountain forests. The results of the hunt are rendered in beautiful totems. If one sees a man's head crowned with the feathers of the hawk eagle, it means he has killed a black bear. If his headdress is decorated with chicken feathers, it means he is a fast runner.
在魯凱族的社會裡，男孩從小跟著父母到山林狩獵，狩獵的結果也一一化為美麗的圖騰，頭冠上戴有熊鷹羽毛的男人，代表曾打敗黑熊；插有雞毛的人，善於快跑。
