從部落到聯合國及再返回：台灣原住民與國際原住民主義

From the Village to the United Nations and Back Again: Aboriginal Taiwan and International Indigenism

在過去幾十年裡，原住民族已樹立他們在國際法中的地位，包含2007年聯合國原住民族權利宣言。當這些想法已逐漸納入中華民國法律之際，原住民族社會運動領導人仍然持續遊說，以促進更多實質性的改革，並且經常結合群眾抗議活動。當原住民主義滋養了以國家為中心的新機構以及組織性抗爭時，「一般人民」多將有關原住民主義的憤世嫉俗論調闡釋為只是「菁英」之間的政治競爭。我不依表面價值採用此等主位觀點，而以流行病學方法來論證當地社區對原住民主義的不均衡接受，是國際法本土化的正常部份。多數原住民支持社會運動的目標，儘管他們繼承原住民主義之文化表現低於支持者所期盼的速度。

In past decades, indigenous peoples have asserted their place in international law, including the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. While these ideas have gradually been incorporated into ROC law, indigenous social movement leaders continue to lobby for more substantial reform, often with mass protests. As indigenism nourishes both new state-centric institutions and organized resistance, ＂ordinary people＂ express cynicism about indigenism as merely political competition between ＂elites.＂ Rather than taking such emic accounts at face value, I use an epidemiological approach to argue that the uneven reception of indigenism in local communities is a normal part of the vernacularization of international law. The majority of indigenous people support the goals of the social movement, even if they adopt the cultural representations of indigenism at a slower rate than its proponents would like.
