The Truku (Chinese: 太魯閣族; pinyin: Tàilǔgé zú, also romanized as Taroko) people are an Indigenous Taiwanese tribe. Taroko is also the name of the area of Taiwan where the Truku tribe resides. The Executive Yuan, Republic of China has officially recognized the Truku since January 15, 2004. The Truku are the 12th aboriginal tribe in Taiwan to receive this recognition. Previously, the Truku and the related Seediq people were classified in the Atayal group. The Atayal and Seediq slammed the Truku for their name rectification. Aboriginals have criticized politicians for abusing the "indigenization" movement for political gains, such as aboriginal opposition to the DPP's "rectification" by recognizing the Taroko for political reasons, with the majority of mountain townships voting for Ma Ying-jeou.
During the Wushe Incident Tkdaya Seediq people under Mona Rudao revolted against the Japanese while the Truku and Toda did not. The rivalry between the Seediq Tkdaya vs the Toda and Truku (Taroko) was aggravated by Wushe Incident, since the Japanese had long played them off against each other and the Japanese used Toda and Truku (Taroko) collaborators to massacre the Tkdaya. Tkdaya land was given to the Truku (Taroko) and Toda by the Japanese after the incident.

On Jan 14th, at 2 o'clock in the morning, a group of the Truku people gathered together, getting ready to visit Truku's sacred mountain, Mount Chilai. It was the 5th anniversary of Truku's recognition back in 2004. t is said that the Truku people used to live in Truku Truwan, a plateau west of Mount Chilai. At that time, they often hunted in the mountain. It was during one of the hunting excursions that they looked east and saw the Pacific Ocean sparkling. It was so bright that they had to squint their eyes to admire the beauty. That is why the Truku people name the mountain Klbiyun, which is the Truku word for squinting.
In the Hon Yei Elementary School in Hualien County, there is an armory room full of ancient bows and arrows and machetes (mountain knives). These are all artifacts left behind by local Truku people. Under the guidance and explanation of their teacher, the indigenous children learn about their own culture.

Nine Truku people from Lowcin Community started a tedious process including lawsuits in 2003 trying to reclaim their ancestral land. In 2002, the land lease contract between Taiwan Power Company and Sioulin Township Office ended, and in 2 months the 2 parties completed hand-over process.

The Truku then brought the action to administrative proceedings. They inspected the domicile and cadastral records, and ...
Nine Truku people from Hualien's Lowcin Community are suing Sioulin Township Office for the ownership of a piece of land. They say the 2,5-acre lot was leased by their ancestors to Taiwan Power Company 40 years ago. However, when Taiwan Power Company terminated the contract in 2002, Sioulin Township Office refused to acknowledge the locals' ownership to the land. They say the locals cannot apply to turn the lot into indigenous reservation since they were not able to supply documents to prove their ownership. The nine Truku people insist on reclaiming the land and have taken the case all the way to Taipei High Administrative Court.

As part of an effort to promote its culture, the Truku Group held a four-day ritual in the mountains before the planting ceremony. First, the group extinguished the old fire before starting new fires. This was done to symbolize the shedding of the old and the starting of the new year.
