What's the nicest looking building in any aboriginal community? The community centre where the chief works. The rest of the place usually looks like shit.
Sad to say but most aboriginals haven't the foggiest clue how to build a sustainable dwelling in the mountains.

I was at Tatajia two weeks ago at an event sponsored by the national park. They said camping is permittable in the parking lot at Tatajia (not off the trails). We talked to some of the campers and no one mentioned needing permission. I need to get back up to Alishan soon. It was just hammered when I was there doing research in 2010 and half the region was closed. Heard a lot of villages are trying to refocus themselves now.

There are reasons for why things continue along as they do. Reasons that have scant to do with how "you" think it should be done Mr./Ms./Mrs. round eye foreigner.
I particularly enjoy chortling at the 'experts' chiming in with their ruffled feathers and social angst - Do get over yourself. This place existed before you and will exist after you.
Now go read Kipling...or something useful...for a change.
