[3] Savungaz primarily used her Han Chinese name until high school,[6] when she stopped partly to access welfare benefits for Indigenous students during a time when her family was struggling with financial issues.
[3] The same change in ethnic identification was considered for Savungaz's brothers, but her father's parents threatened to disown the family if the sons identified as Bunun tribesmen rather than as Han Chinese.

[17][21] Savungaz was among the 2021 activists who called on local governments to recognize the exclusive writing of Indigenous Taiwanese names in Latin script.
The Ministry of the Interior rejected a petition calling for such on the grounds that Taiwanese people would be unable to read the names properly.
[11] Savungaz ran on the platform "Land, name rectification, self-regulation" (Chinese: 土地、正名、自治), a slogan that was used prominently in previous campaigns regarding Indigenous Taiwanese rights.
[11] Savungaz campaigned for the right for Indigenous Taiwanese people to exclusively list their names in their respective languages on government issued IDs.
In October 2023, she called for the passage of anti-discrimination legislation, citing discrimination caused by perceptions of Indigenous Taiwanese people as alcoholic, lazy, lascivious, as well as having received unfair benefits as a result of affirmative action and governmental aid.
