During the early Qing dynasty, the low-elevation mountainous and hilly areas of Taoyuan and Hsinchu in northern Taiwan remained hunting grounds and living territories of the Atayal people. Due to the proximity to Atayal traditional domains, there has been a long history of interethnic interaction and memory between local Hakka settlers and Atayal communities since the Qing period. However, existing research primarily relies on official archives and documents, focusing on the political-economic structures of settler society, while rarely addressing the relationship between the Han-centered developmentalist historiography and settler colonialism from the perspective of contemporary interethnic memories and narrative practices. This paper draws on a wide range of oral history materials collected by the author between 2017 and 2022 from both indigenous communities and Han traditional settlements in the foothill regions of Taoyuan and Hsinchu. By identifying and analyzing various types of narrative structures, and engaging with relevant scholarship on settler colonialism, the paper reflects on how memories and narratives are shaped among contemporary Han and Indigenous populations in the intramontane regions of northern Taiwan. |
