Jiumei Elementary School

Jiumei Elementary School occupies a distinctive place among Taiwan's indigenous-area schools: it is one of the very few nationwide running a formal bicultural education program that teaches both the Bunun and Tsou languages together. Located in Wangmei Village at the foot of Yushan, the school serves a rare mixed Bunun-and-Tsou tribal community. Its commitment to this dual heritage extends into its architecture — new school buildings incorporating both Tsou and Bunun architectural elements won the 2021 Jianzhu Yuanzhi Award, and the school built a traditional Tsou "hʉfʉ" structure with support from the government forestry agency.

久美國小在台灣原住民地區學校中地位特殊：它是全台少數正式推行布農族與鄒族雙語雙文化教育的學校之一。學校位於玉山腳下的望美村，服務著罕見的布農、鄒族混合部落社區。這份對雙重文化傳承的重視也延伸至建築——融合鄒族與布農族建築元素的新校舍榮獲2021年建築園冶獎，學校也在林務單位協助下搭建了傳統鄒族「hʉfʉ」（男子會所）建築。
