／Superintendent-Yuraw Icyang／

Yuraw Icyang is the superintendent of Smangus co-operation organization and also the tribal elder. He must have many features so that why he was elected as a superintendent. Let me introduce him!

1. He has kindness, sense of justice, good communication ability, and can solve all kinds of tribal things with the heart of fair. 2. He is wise, very familiar with the history of the tribe, and can handle any relevant problems. 3. He thinks sharply, maturely, and he has an elegant style of conversation. He is the model of Atayal young men.

Candidates of superintendent of Smangus are chosen by the tribal council, and then elected by the residents. The position is a two year term which can be renewable. Yuraw Icyang has been a superintendent of Smangus for one and a half years. When he introduced why they ran the co-operation system in Smangus, he said "The co-operation system is a shared spirit of the Atayal. Before the system operated, the chieftain was very worried when he saw the tribe had been disordered due to competition and the increasing gap between poverty and wealth. Therefore, he convened the people of the tribe. After numerous communication and discussion, they finally decided that all the property should be concentrated, and then split equally. "He was very impressed by the mind and wisdom of the chieftain, so he is a faithful follower of the chieftain.

Talking about the future, Yuraw Icyang said: "I love this tribe, like the ancestral culture, and I also believe in Christianity. I hope all the tribal things can be developed better in the next few years. Also, our children can learn the Atayal culture and have brave and confident recognition of the Atayal. "

Truly! The tribe of Smangus not only has the appeal of the beauty and the giant trees, but also the sharing system which is very different. I hope that Smangus can be never influenced by the external civilization and loses its own cultural values.
