褪色的彩翼──眉溪部落捕蝶口述歷史

Faded Color Wings: Oral History of Catching Butterflies in Alang Tongan/Baike

本文追溯賽德克族眉溪部落於1960到1980年代採集蝴蝶的近代歷史，包括採集動機、方法、區域、種類和規模。族人當時捕捉蝴蝶的主要目的為賺取生活開銷或貼補家用，每到暑期，幾乎整個部落在南山溪流域大量採集蝴蝶供應埔里鎮蝴蝶加工業需求。捕抓蝴蝶的方式主要為誘集再加以網撈，再轉賣給收購盤商，做為加工素材。透過捕蝶的口述歷史，還原眉溪部落運用蝴蝶資源的細節，可重新建立部落捕蝶人的自我認同、反思社區保育的做法、並轉化發展為當地深度生態旅遊的解說題材。

This study is based on oral history of catching butterflies from 1960’s to 1980 in alang Tongan / Baike by Seediq. I interviewed 8 people who trapped butterflies when they were young, about the acquisition of motivation, methods, region, type and size. They trapped butterflies for money supporting their living. When summer comes, almost all tribal people trapped a large number of butterflies in the Nanshan River Valley to supply the needs of industries in Puli Town. Knowing details of how they did in the past can help them to rebuild self-identity and to consider more about community conservation practices. Also, they can transform this study to in-depth ecotourism.
