Hua East Coast Road past and present

One of the Bunun tribes on the east coast is located in the alpine forest base of Isaki, on the coast mountains next to the Taiwan 11th line. There is a small group of Bunun people living here. The Bunun tribe here is called the Gaoshan tribe.

I was a little surprised to learn that the mountain tribe is the Bunun people, because I thought that the Bunun people are from Xinyi in Nantou, Zhuoxi in Hualien, and Haiduan in Taitung. How could they be Isaki in Hualien on the east coast?
