Gangkou Elementary School

Gangkou Elementary opened in 1921 under Japanese rule as "Gangkou Aboriginal Public School," and has been renamed multiple times since. In 1950 it established a branch class at Jingpu, which later became independent as its own school in 1960. Gangkou Elementary recently marked its 100th anniversary. The school sits near the mouth of the Xiuguluan River — the endpoint of Taiwan's most famous river-rafting route — and today embraces the Amis place name "Makotaay," meaning muddy or turbid water, as its site identity.

港口國小創立於日治時期大正10年（1921年），原名「港口蕃人公學校」，此後歷經多次更名。民國39年（1950年）於靜浦設立分班，該分班於民國49年（1960年）獨立設校。港口國小近年剛慶祝建校百週年。學校座落於秀姑巒溪出海口附近——台灣最負盛名的泛舟路線終點——如今學校也採用阿美族地名「Makotaay」（意為濁水）作為場域識別。
