The emotions of the tribe: Sun Ta-chuan has discovered in the course of his writing that because the education he received was not of Puyuma culture, his work can only capture a part of the tribal mood. When he comes back to the tribal lands, tribal seniors say, "What you talk and write about doesn't seem to be ours."
