部落族人對原住民族社會工作的期待：去殖民觀點的想像

The Voice of Tribal Peoples in Indigenous Social Work: Imagination of a Decolonized Perspective

當前社會工作強調歐美理論典範，排除和邊緣化原住民族知識與技術，令社會工作成為專業與文化殖民的場域，不只無助於解決問題，還創造了問題。本研究以個別深入訪談法訪問了14位部落族人，企圖瞭解族人對原住民族社會工作的想像。研究發現族人：（1）強調將族群殖民歷史脈絡與知識論整合至社會實務工作中，改變社會工作中的殖民活動|並透過福利和經濟產業活動促進部落改革和發展，取回控制權|（2）期待社會工作者是擁有血緣、地緣關係的在地人，認同原住民族和為族人所認同的助人者，或具備雙文化的助人者。族人的觀點提醒社會工作專業去殖民的重要性，需要我們思考以權利為保障、以族群文化為核心行動，及以血緣、地緣和／或認同原住民族的社會工作者為媒介的社會工作，本文最後據此提出對原住民族社會工作的意涵。
Indigenous knowledge and skills are excluded and marginalized in the field of mainstream social work because of the emphasis on Eurocentric philosophical paradigms, with social work becoming a colonial cultural field and profession, creating problems for Indigenous peoples. Based on a decolonized research agenda, this research employed in-depth interviews to collect data from 14 tribal peoples and to understand their expectations of Indigenous social work. The findings suggested that the interviewees expected: (1) to change colonial activities by integrating Indigenous epistemologies and knowledge of colonial histories into social work practice, and to gain control by promoting self-determination and developing tribal welfare and economics| (2) social workers with blood relationships and geographical ties are to have bicultural trainings, while non-Indigenous helpers should be able to recognize and respect Indigenous cultures. The findings reminded us that ensuring human rights, placing culture at the heart of social work activities, and training social workers as agents of decolonization are of paramount importance towards the goal of decolonized Indigenous social work. The article ends with recommendations for the Indigenous social work profession.
