The aims of this research are to comprehend the group types of the Sakizaya People before the 1878 Jia-Li-Wan Battle (also known as the Takobowan Battle) in the Ching Dynasty, to explain their formational mechanism by the combination of oral history and document resources, and to understand relevant logics of group classifications. The basic question is how to distinguish the ”village” (she) and ”tribe.” According to historical materials, Yun Ye Ye (she) was not known only as a single ”village,” but rather as Nan-Shyh (meaning southwards) group of the Kilai village people in a geographical term, as naturalized barbarians in the view of Chinese imperialism, and as the Tsung-Yao eight communities under the Taxation system. Comparing the notion of ”tribe” in oral history on the ”tribe” with the ”village” used in historical materials, we discover a kind of non-correspondence relations.
