Sakinu Ahronglong

Sakinu Ahronglong is a Paiwan Indigenous author from Taiwan whose writing draws on his experiences growing up in an Indigenous community and his deep connection to traditional Paiwan culture and the natural world. Hunter School is a memoir about learning the traditional hunting practices of the Paiwan people — skills that represent far more than physical survival, encompassing spiritual connection to the land, cultural identity, and the transmission of knowledge across generations. Ahronglong writes with vivid detail and profound respect for the traditions he describes. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a rare, beautiful window into Indigenous Taiwanese culture. Ahronglong's work appeals to readers interested in Indigenous knowledge, cultural preservation, nature writing, and stories about the deep connections between people and the landscapes that sustain them.
