In the oral history of the Seediq Tribe, White Rock is the original site of their ancestors. When the tribal people hunt, White Rock guides and protects the hunters like a beacon, so that they won’t get lost in the broad expanse of the Central Mountain Range. White Rock is viewed as a place invested with divine power that protects and blesses the whole tribe, and White Rock Mountain is revered as a sacred mountain by the tribe.

Seediq’s traditional music is closely intertwined with its cultural life and has social functions, which are like the two sides of a coin. Every type of Seediq song presents specific scenes and different aspects of the lives of the tribal people.
