Building the capabilities of the indigenous tribe is the foundation of tribes’ self-reliance and tribal self-reliance is an important issue in tribal governance. This study aims to explore the dynamic capacity of indigenous tribes, and then propose relevant suggestions for promoting good governance for indigenous tribes. This study was conducted via a qualitative research method, with individual in-depth interviews or focus groups of 27 indigenous people, including scholars, tribal practitioners and public sector representatives of community development-related affairs. The results of the study show that the dynamic capacities of the indigenous tribes have multiple modes, and that they interact with the external environment in which they are located, thus affecting tribal governance. After the discussions, and based on the analyses, this study puts forward 6 relevant suggestions for the good governance of indigenous tribes, including: (1) participant vs. bystander - introducing the “empowerment” strategy to stimulate the public participation of young people; (2) inertia dependence vs. self-reliance - establishing the “accountability” mechanism to lay the foundation for the good governance of the tribe; (3) achieved status vs. inherited status – cultivating “competency-based” leaders to lead the tribe to create new opportunities; (4) collaborative partner vs. selfish departmentalism – establishing an open and transparent communication platform to practice deliberative democracy; (5) courage to change vs. clinging to self-styled – creating a friendly and open environment to enhance tribes upward mobility; and diversity vs. prejudice: fostering “cultural competence-based” workers to promote the coexistence and co-prosperity of ethnic groups. |
