Autoethnography is different from the traditional academic research of hidden researchers. Therefore, this study takes the researcher’s own life experience as the background, from tribal childhood memories, urban life, return to hometown, contact with culture, legally acquired Indigenous identity, and transformation into indigenous cultural industry; these processes are expressed in the form of autobiography. Stating self-identity and ethnic identity awareness, this study integrate theoretical dialogue and the interpretation of other people's life stories, exploring the Indigenous Han dual ethnicity of the Han father and Indigenous mother, who legally obtain the identity process and generate diverse perspectives of their indigenous identity.
In retrospect, the indigenous people have gone through many colonial histories in Taiwan, leading to drastic changes in the environment, resulting in the fate of being invaded and assimilated. The traditional tribal life has transformed into a community style, which cannot smoothly fit in the modern life, resulting in tribal dilemmas and social discrimination. The indigenous ethnic has gradually been reduced to a disadvantaged ethnic group from the perspective of society, and even the pressure of social stereotypes not only has been bringing the psychological oppression of the indigenes and the misunderstanding of offspring, but even also has been simultaneously leading to different Indigenous Han bi-ethnic’s attitudes toward ethnic groups. It has a huge impact on the indigenous ethnic groups.
The history of ancestors can be realized to be made by the times from the Ecological perspective, which clarifies the over-identification that has existed in the eyes of society for a long time, and then the study digs out the potential advantages of the indigenous peoples through the essence of the Strengths Perspective, and hereby it activates their power of restoration. in an attempt to deconstruct their inferiority or stigma which resulted from the social structure., and it enables indigenes to get rid of the rigid shackles of the "disadvantaged" and the "sunset peoples" with the advance of modern times. In particular, it appeals to the Indigenous Han dual ethnicity, who wanders through the dual environment interfaces, to have the spirit of "taken from the tribe and give back to the tribe," so that they can truly express their ethnic identity, which is the main argument of the study. |
