Legend has it that the Kavalan arrived by [[sea]] from the [[east]] and that when they saw the stunning beauty of this location, they decided then and there to settle this bountiful land. The newly arrived Kavalan fought many battles against the local [[Atayal people]], and in the end the Kavalan drove the Atayal into the mountains — true to their name "Kavalan", which means "flatland people". That name subsequently morphed into "Hamalan", ultimately yielding the modern-day [[Yilan City]]. They were referred as '''36 Kavalan tribes''' (蛤仔難三十六社), although there were more than 60. In the past, tribes north of the [[Lanyang River]] were called Sai-sè-hoan (西勢番) while those south of the river were Tang-sè-hoan (東勢番). |

Eventually, many more [[Han Chinese]] entered this area and the life of Kavalan was forced to change. Many of them moved to Beipu Village (in Sincheng Township of [[Hualien County]]) between 1830 and 1840. |

In 1878, the Kavalan, and their Sakizaya allies, fought a devastating battle against Qing invaders after a dispute with Qing officials led to a local uprising.[1] This event ended in disaster for both communities with many of their members slaughtered in the Takobowan incident [zh][2] (also known as the “Galeewan Incident”[3] or “Kalyawan Battle”).[4] Others were displaced by Han settlers.[3] The remaining Sakizaya, meanwhile, were forced to blend with other peoples, such as the Amis, with the intention of protecting their identity.[5]
