About the rite
For Nanshi Amis men in Hualien, Misaselal completes training and admits an initiate to an age grade. He receives a grade name and a recognized position in village education, political affairs, and collective work.
Local government and cultural records document ceremonies through 2025 and state that a man who has not completed the rite is not fully recognized as an adult in the age-grade system.
