Yama

Flood Stories from Around the World

Tsuwo (Formosa interior):When the Tsuwo ancestors were dispersed, a great flood came, and everyone was forced to flee to the top of Mount Niitaka-yama.

The survivors from Mount Niitaka-yama, in groups, wandered their various ways.

The ancestors of the Bunun escaped to Mount Usabeya (Niitaka-yama) and Mount Shinkan, where they lived by hunting until the waters receded.
