Jiaruipu Temple

The Jiaruipu Temple (Chinese: 加蚋埔公廨; pinyin: Jiā'nà（ruì）pŭ Gōngxiè; Zhuyin Fuhao: ㄐㄧㄚ ㄋㄚˋ ㄆㄨˇ ㄍㄨㄥ ㄒㄧㄝˋ), also known as the Kanapo Temple, is a Makatao temple in Gaoshu Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan.

History

The temple is in the northeast of Taishan Village, Gaoshu Township, located in a rural region. It is the religious center for the local Makatao people.[1]

On April 16, 2011, the Makatao of Gaoshu, Neipu, and Wanluan conducted a protest at the temple with the goal of lobbying the Republic of China's Council of Indigenous Peoples to recognize them as Plains Aborigines, and established Makatao Association.[2]

Name

The temple name was 'A-mu House'(阿姆寮), but the Siraya people renamed it to Gongxie(公廨).[3]
