This article is aimed to generalize the cultural content of Thau, a small group of indigenous peoples living in Taiwan, corresponding to potential cultural heritages such as historic sites, cultural landscapes, archaeological sites or underwater cultural heritage, as well as the significant folklore“Thau’s Tungkariri Lus’an”by sorting through literature reviews of Thau history. By suggesting cultural heritages in comprehensive form and reaching a consensus on preservation and conservation strategies with official administrative departments, Thau is able to reinforce their dominance in interpreting the cultural space surrounding Sun Moon Lake. Nevertheless, by comparing cultural heritages around Sun Moon Lake with Japanese Heritage, which shares similar concepts, the author likes to reflect on how to integrate stories that are difficult to incorporate into individual cultural heritage sites in the idea of heritage clusters, in order to build an overall connection and completeness of the viewing experience. Alien regimes in different times governed indigenous peoples either gently or violently. As for Thau, who lost the rights of using and interpreting their significant cultural spaces several times in the experience of interacting with foreigners over the past 300 years, the author believes that alien regimes only took Sun Moon Lake area as a resource. Thau residents were dealt with transaction, compensation, or exchange, led to the broken connection, which used to be indivisible, between residents and environments. Distinguishing and identifying cultural heritage is one of the methods mentioned in this article to reconnect the broken bond. In the process of becoming cultural heritages, a new description of history must be proposed, so as to construct a new symbol. Furthermore, consultations with other relevant local communities are required. The negotiations are inevitable in the process of redefining Sun Moon Lake area. |
