問題詳情

Aboriginal groups are seeking to preserve their folkways and languages as well as to return to, or remain on,their traditional lands. Eco-tourism, sewing and selling tribal carvings, jewelry and music has become a viablearea of economic opportunity. However, tourism-based commercial development, such as the creation of TaiwanAboriginal Culture Park, is not a panacea. Although these create new jobs, aborigines are seldom givenmanagement positions. Moreover, some national parks have been built on aboriginal lands against the wishes ofthe local tribes, prompting one Taroko activist to label the Taroko National Park as a form of “environmentalcolonialism.” At times, the creation of national parks has resulted in forced resettlement of the aborigines. Due to the close proximity of aboriginal land to the mountains, many tribes have hoped to cash in on hotspring ventures and hotels, where they offer singing and dancing to add to the ambience. The Wulai Atayal inparticular have been active in this area. Considerable government funding has been allocated to museums andculture centers focusing on Taiwan’s aboriginal heritage. Critics often call the ventures exploitative and“superficial portrayals” of aboriginal culture, which distract attention from the real problems of substandardeducation. Proponents of ethno-tourism suggest that such projects can positively impact the public image andeconomic prospects of the indigenous community. The indigenous tribes of Taiwan are closely linked with ecological awareness and conservation issues on theisland, as many of the environmental issues are spearheaded by aborigines. Political activism and sizable publicprotests regarding the logging of the Chilan Formosan Cypress, as well as efforts by an Atayal member of the代號：4401頁次：8－8Legislative Yuan, “focused debate on natural resources management and specifically on the involvement ofaboriginal people therein.” Another high-profile case is the nuclear waste storage facility on Orchid Island, a smalltropical island 60 km (30 nautical miles) off the southeast coast of Taiwan. The inhabitants are the 4,000 membersof the Tao (or Yami) tribe. In the 1970s the island was designated as a possible site to store low and medium gradenuclear waste. The island was selected on the grounds that it would be cheaper to build the necessaryinfrastructure for storage and it was thought that the population would not cause trouble. Large-scale constructionbegan in 1978 on a site 100 m (330 ft) from the Immorod fishing fields. The Tao tribe alleges that governmentsources at the time described the site as a “factory” or a “fish cannery,” intended to bring “jobs [to the] home ofthe Tao/Yami, one of the least economically integrated areas in Taiwan.” When the facility was completed in 1982,however, it was in fact a storage facility for “97,000 barrels of low-radiation nuclear waste from Taiwan’s threenuclear power plants.” The Tao have since stood at the forefront of the anti-nuclear movement and launchedseveral exorcisms and protests to remove the waste they claim has resulted in deaths and sickness. The lease onthe land has expired, and an alternative site has yet to be selected.
