A century of teaching, weaving, and roots.
Dili Elementary School was founded in 1923 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023, making it one of the longest-standing schools in Xinyi Township's Bunun tribal school district. Located beside the Zhuoshui River in the northern part of the township, the school has built its curriculum around cultural preservation, teaching traditional Bunun weaving and dyeing arts alongside native-language recitation, and running "seeking ancestral roots" heritage programs that connect students to their tribal history.
地利國小創立於民國12年（1923年），並於2023年慶祝建校百年，是信義鄉布農族學區歷史最悠久的學校之一。學校位於鄉境北側的濁水溪畔，課程規劃著重文化傳承，將布農族傳統織布與染織技藝，以及族語朗讀融入教學，並推動「尋根」文化傳承活動，讓學生與部落歷史保持連結。
