Ahronglong Sakinu is a Taiwanese indigenous Paiwan writer and forest hunter. His name means “The Last Hunter” in Lalaulan. He was born to the Paiwan Lalaulan clan in Taitung, Taiwan. He trained as a police officer and found law enforcement work in Taipei before later becoming a forest ranger. He gained recognition from his book Hunter School (山豬．飛鼠．撒可努), which won the 2000 Wu Yung-fu Literature Prize (巫永福文學獎). Written in 1998, the book was adapted into a film and released in 2005. His work has been translated into English and Japanese, and also made into cartoons. In November 2005, he founded a hunter school to educate and introduce youngsters to Paiwan culture and traditional Paiwan skills.
