A school carrying an old Bunun place name.
Fengqiu Elementary School is located in Fengqiu tribal village, a Bunun mountain community along the Chenyoulan River in Xinyi Township. The village's old name, "Salitung" (沙里凍), is the Bunun word for "papaya" — a small but telling detail that reflects the deep-rooted tradition of Bunun place-naming tied to the natural world, still carried in the school's community today.
豐丘國小位於豐丘部落，是信義鄉陳有蘭溪畔的一處布農山地社區。該部落的舊名「沙里凍」在布農語中意為「木瓜」——這個看似細微卻意味深長的細節，展現了布農族與自然緊密連結的傳統地名文化，至今仍留存於學校所在的這個社區之中。
