This particular settlement was originally known in Atayal as Yabis, which means "flying squirrel" (feishu in Chinese). Amidst the current spate of village relocation projects throughout Taiwan's mountainous central region, it turns out that this community has accomplished that relocation in record time.
這個部落名叫雅比斯，在泰雅族語中原指「飛鼠」，在廣大的中部山區遷村問題方興未艾之際，它創下了國內遷村速度最快的紀錄。
