Yatauyungana was educated at Tainan Normal School and became a teacher. In 1945, he served as mayor of Wufeng Township in Chiayi, which was later named Alishan.[1]
During the 228 Incident in 1947, Yatauyungana led a group of Tsou to fight the Kuomintang in Chiayi; when their attempts to take Chiayi Airport were unsuccessful, they returned to Alishan.[2] He was later arrested but was released thanks to lobbying on the part of Losing Watan, an Atayal leader.
In 1952, during the White Terror, he was accused of treason by the government for his advocacy for indigenous autonomy, and was executed along with five other indigenous leaders, including Watan.[3][4] He was posthumously exonerated by the Transitional Justice Commission on July 29, 2020.[5]
