The Rainbow Bridge of the Seediq
Seediq belief holds that those who keep Gaya (ancestral law) cross a rainbow bridge to the ancestral spirits (utux); it framed the 1930 Wushe uprising led by Mona Rudao.

The account
Warriors who had taken heads had the facial tattoos needed to cross. Many families died by suicide after the uprising was crushed, believing they would meet beyond the bridge.
