The movements of contemporary pingpu indigenous peoples (1993-2012) 一A case study of Siraya tribe of Taiwan

[[abstract]]1993年起，平埔族群現身於台灣社會，展開了一連串的文化復振與正名運動。維於台南地區的西拉雅族，是平埔族群人口最多而且還保有傳統部落及文化的族群，1995年開始的文化復振到2006年西拉雅族被台南縣政府認定為「縣定原住民族」，讓西拉雅人脫離污名的認同，強烈要求政府恢復期原住民身分。2009年起由台南縣政府所主導的街頭運動及行政訴訟，更是讓西拉雅族的正名議題受社會高度矚目，但是這近20年來西拉雅族與平埔族群的認同是如何轉變的？背後的動機與力量是如何形成的？是值得探討的問題。筆者身為西拉雅族裔，長期投入西拉雅族文化復振與正名運動，透過參與觀察的經驗，試著將這20年來平埔原住民族的社會運動歷程做脈絡的分析，探討平埔族群再現下所挑戰的族群分類與族群真實性，在各方交會論述下的平埔原住民族文化復振及正名運動，是如何一路挺進形成策略與外界對話，冀望以族裔身分真實記錄這段歷史並為族群的復名盡份心力。[[abstract]]The Pingpu Indigenous Peoples have held a stigma identity for many centuries due to their indigenous background. Yet, the Siraya descendents have struggled for resuming their “indigenous” identity through a series of cultural revival and political appealing movements since 1993. Among the Pingpu indigenous movements, the Siraya has been always the example. As known, the Siraya groups are still vivid in contemporary Taiwan. And after a decade of fighting for identity recognition, current Tainan City Government finally recognized the Siraya People as an “indigenous” people. And the Siraya becomes the first locally-recognized indigenous people in Taiwan. Then, in this thesis I try to investigate the motivations that have made the Siraya consciousness possible and the processes that the Siraya people have fought for their “indigenous” identity during the last two decades. In the thesis I will analyze the mentioned issues through historical documents, oral review, empirical questionnaire, and participant observation.[[note]]碩
