Iliamna is a census-designated place in Lake and Peninsula Borough, United States. The population was 109 at the 2010 census, up from 102 in 2000. Iliamna was the name of an Athabaskan village at the point where the Iliamna River flows into Iliamna Lake, about 40 miles east of present-day Iliamna; that site is now called Old Iliamna. In 1935, the residents of Old Iliamna moved to the present-day location; the first sport fishing lodge in Iliamna was built in the 1930s, the second was built in the 1950s. Many more were built in the 20th century. Iliamna's economy has two main elements: sport fishing lodges. Year-round residents pursue subsistence activities, while summer workers from other areas work in the lodges. Around 1913, Herman Gartelmann, Jack Kinney, Ed Ahola built a roadhouse here, taking advantage of air travel through Lake Clark Pass. Jack and Ed were from Old Iliamna village. Frederick Roehl purchased the roadhouse around 1917, when he died in 1923, Hans Seversen took over and the facility became known as Seversen's Roadhouse.
He started hosting big game hunters in 1921 and the first sport fishermen in 1937. Martin Seversen put up a new building. Mary Seversen Clark sold the operation in 1956. Iliamna faces the prospect of developing into a mining town, as several multi-national companies plan to develop the area northwest of the village into one of North America's largest gold-copper-molybdenum mines; the first company to submit plans to the State of Alaska is Northern Dynasty Minerals, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hunter Dickinson. The Lake and Peninsula Borough, the region's governing body, passed a strong resolution in support of the mine's development, but the majority of the surrounding villages adamantly oppose it. Two non-profit organizations are leading the fight against open-pit mining in the Bristol Bay watershed - the Bristol Bay Alliance and the Renewable Resources Coalition. A study concluded in 2006 indicated. Iliamna is located in southwest Alaska at 59°45′54″N 154°50′25″W, it is bordered to the south by the city of Newhalen, to the west by the Newhalen River, to the southeast by Iliamna Lake.

The Timor python is a python species found in Southeast Asia. A dwarf form, no subspecies are recognized. Like all pythons, they are nonvenomous constrictors; the Timor python is a long, but thin python. It has a series of heat-sensing pits between its nostrils and mouth used to find warm-blooded prey in total darkness, it is cold-blooded. Found in Southeast Asia on the Lesser Sunda Islands, its type locality is given as "Kupang,". Captive specimens have been known to accept small mammals. Liasis amethystinus var. timoriensis was the scientific name proposed by Johann Gottlob Schneider in 1801. Authors of a phylogenetic study suggested that the Timor python together with the reticulated python should be moved to a distinct genus Broghammerus. Subsequent phylogenetic analyses have supported the separation of the Timor and reticulated pythons from genus Python. However, Broghammerus is considered an invalid name by most authorities, which made Reynolds et al. formally rename this clade Malayopython in 2014, a decision, followed by many authors.

The Puyuma known as the Pinuyumayan, Peinan or Beinan, are one of the indigenous groups of the Taiwanese aborigines. The people are divided into the Chihpen and Nanwang groups, both resident in Taitung County on the east coast of Taiwan. In the year 2000 the Puyuma numbered 9,606; this was 2.4% of Taiwan's total indigenous population, making them the sixth-largest indigenous group. The Puyuma speak the Puyuma language, as well as Taiwanese Hokkien; the name "Puyuma" means "unity" or "concord", was the autonym of the speakers of the Nanwang dialect. Zeitoun and Cauquelin note that the word Puyuma can be analyzed as pu'-uma, which means "to send to the field"; the earliest records of the prehistoric Peinan Site in Taitung City were made by Torii Ryūzō, an anthropologist in the early period of the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. During his four visits to Taiwan for anthropological research, he took photos of the monolithic stone pillars at the site. Beinan Cultural Park opened in 1997 to display and preserve the archaeological site, considered the most important one in Taiwan.
An indoor/outdoor Museum of Prehistory opened in 2002.
