The Bunun legend is closely related to nature and animals. The Hundred-pace snake had lived peacefully among the Bunun tribe and protected them. Legend has it that the snake was originally a Bunun child, who had died and was reincarnated into a snake. Therefore, it is said that the skillful Bunun hunters never hunted or ate snakes. In the Bunun language, the name for the Hundred-pace snake is “Kaviaz”, which means “friend”
