本文檢視台東都蘭部落的原住民面對發展的社會抗爭。部落面對外來和官方的發展計畫與傳統領域的矛盾課題，以「傳統」與文化作為重要爭議與溝通協商的載體，來回應與對抗主流發展論述中所稱的文化與傳統之現代想像。本文並強調原住民主體文化，在實踐層面的意義詮釋和協商過程的重要。

This article deals with the concrete on the group resistance of the people of ‘Tolan Niyaro against the impact of developmentalism in the past years. It reviews the ways in which tribal organizations use their “tradition” as a mechanism of cultural politics to negotiate and argue against external ideologies, as well as the contradictions imbedded therewith. In challenging the so-called mainstream developmental arguments, the tribal elders and youth adopted a strategy of “inventing traditions”. They created many renewed tribal practices for enhancing age group solidarity. Such a process could be seen as the manifestation of their tribal cultural subject-hood and was significant for their internal negotiation as well as for in-depth meaning-exposition at a very concrete level.
