There used to be an Atayal tribe of the "Weng" tribe. Each of their tribesmen was very diligent in farming, hunting, and perpetuating and inheriting traditional culture from generation to generation; and they listened to the revelation of their ancestors very much. Therefore, the leader led the team to implement the revelation of their ancestors. Work, rich this tribe.

A leader said: [One day, our ancestor spirit will send a bird to the tribe, and it will bite the edible seed in the bird’s mouth. When you see him, take the seed from its mouth and invite it to drink. Water, and then sprinkle the seeds on your field. You can eat them in a few months. The way to eat is to remove the shells of the seeds and boil them in an urn. They can be eaten after they are cooked. ]

Unexpectedly, one day, a bird flew in front of the boss’s house with the fruit in his mouth. The tribe planted the fruit in the field and asked people to take care of the fruit. After a few months, the sprinkled seeds really grew. According to the words of the ancestor spirit, the leader shelled the picked food first, then put it in the urn and boiled it. After it was cooked, it was very fragrant. The whole tribe smelled the fragrance of the food, so the leader named the fruit trakis, which means millets in Atayal language .
