| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 理工學院綠色科技產業碩士專班 === 101 === Seventeenth century, the Dutch empire looked Taromak tribal nation as enemy. From the Taromak oral story, there were also many intruders killed, who were described as red hair and mouth smoking look. Taromak was recorded 900 persons in the mountainous paradise “da drekay” by Ching Empire during 1890s. But the Japanese empire forced them to move down to the river valley”labulabu”, resulted a series of flood and fire disaster and loss of sovereignty and culture. From 1945, the Republic of China followed the Japanese indigenous policy until people’s democratic movement in 1980s. The Taromak people returned to their real village “Kapaliwa” in the mountain until 1996. Then they reconstructed there their men’s house “alike” 2002, chief’s house 2006, ancestor house 2007, civilian house 2008, and Guardian God 2008. The Austronesian community college helped Taromak to promote indigenous culture learning tour in Kapaliwa from 2005. And National Taitung University help them to develop worship visiting and gift sharing originated from Taromak culture “lika`e” and “kiso`ili “ from 2010. This study investigated 33 visitors and 14 local receptionists from 2011 to 2013. Almost the visitors had strong willingness to revisit and introduce to other people. They had impressive feeling about worshipping the guardian god to learn land ethic, visiting the ancestor house and civilian house to exchange culture, gathering wild vegetable to experience coexisting with nature. All the receptionists were willing to offer service if have the chance. But their opinion about Kapaliwa and culture recovery is different among age groups. The elders strongly support the idea of return territory, culture recovery, worship visiting and gift sharing activities, whereas the young people seem not so positive. For Taiwan indigenous people had been colonized for three to four generations, we suppose it is difficult to recover their culture and self-governance just by themselves. We suggest the government should strengthen the governance capacity of tribal nations and hope the citizen organization, university and private sector can support the worship visiting and gift sharing activities of Taromak.
