Abstract:

Based on the increased attention and kindness shown towards indigenous cultures around the world, especially for the minority and disadvantaged indigenous peoples, more protection should be provided to insure their development. In view of this, this study uses the festivities of three indigenous peoples in the Amis, Saisiyat and Dawu as the subjects of this research.

This study explores the origins and legends of traditional ceremonies of these three indigenous peoples’ cultures, and attempts to elaborate on the preservation of their cultures, introduction of the cultural and creative industry, and the rise of tourism policies with the display of ceremonial culture. The challenge lies in arousing public awareness of cultural preservation and continuation of minority indigenous peoples, safeguarding and respecting the traditional culture of the indigenous peoples so that they can continue to grow while maintaining their own unique culture in an environment where only the strong survive.

This study analyzes the future preservation and continuation of the three indigenous peoples’ cultures from the perspective of the cultural industry and ceremonial culture through the elaboration of the important ceremonies and legends, literature review, discussion of theories, professional perspectives, and in-depth field research. Do deficiencies still exist in relevant units with direct jurisdiction and government departments? Are there any gaps that allows the cultures of the indigenous peoples to continue maintaining their unique traditions as they come under the influence of modern civilization, and receive support and respect by the public?

With the study being completed, I’d like to thank my advisory professors A-ron Liu and Ted Chiou for their guidance during my PHD studies; Dean I-chun Liu and Secretary Shang-fang Hsu for their assistance and care when I was ill; Dr. Sheng-zhen Hsu as well as the students and faculty of the Shu-Te University’s Department of Arts Management for their encouragement and support.

There are a total of eight chapters in this study, and the final chapter includes recommendations for this study. In addition to the research opinions, it wasn’t possible to learn more due to being unable to carry out long-term observations and participation in the lives of the indigenous peoples. The living spaces of the three groups of indigenous peoples was quite vast, and the timing of their ceremonies were also different. As long as there are opportunities in the future, researchers should explore the life patterns and traditional spirit of the indigenous peoples in a more in-depth and detailed manner.

　　本研究基於世界各國對於原住民族文化的逐漸重視與善待，尤其是對於原住民族中弱小的族群，更應特別予以保障並促進其發展。有鑒於此本論文將臺灣原住民中的阿美族、賽夏族與達悟族三個族群的節慶祭典文化作為研究之主題。

　　本文從上述三個族群文化中探索臺灣原住民族的傳統祭典由來與傳說，並且在祭典文化的展現上，試圖闡述原住民族文化保存、受到文創產業的洗禮與觀光政策的興起之後，如何喚起大眾正視少數原住民族的文化保存與延續，如何保障與尊重原住民族的傳統文化，讓他們在優勝劣汰強者生存的環境中，持續成長同時也保有自己族群的特有文化。

　　本研究透過闡述三個族群的重要祭典與傳說故事、文獻回顧、理論探討、學者專家看法以及本研究的深度田野調查等方法，並從文化產業和祭典文化的角度分析三個族群在未來的文化延續與保存，相關的直屬管轄單位與政府部門，是不是仍有不足之處？還有甚麼缺漏可以讓少數的原住民族文化可以在文明的洪流沖刷下，持續保有小眾族群的特有傳統，並受到大眾的支持與尊重。

　　論文得已完成，要特別感謝劉阿榮、丘昌泰兩位指導教授，在本人博士班研讀期間給予的方向指引；劉宜君院長、徐上芳秘書在生病期間給予本人的協助與安慰，徐盛禎博士以及樹科大藝管系的師生，給予諸多生活上的鼓勵和支援。

　　本文總共八個章節，最後為本研究之建議，除了研究心得之外，由於無法長期觀察了解及參與原住民族的生活，也因為三個族群的生活領域相當廣泛，祭典的時間點也各自不同，無法更深入的探索，未來只要有機會當更加深入與細緻探索原住民族的生活模式與傳統精神。
