The implementation of social work in indigenous tribal communities is not only a tip of the State's bureaucratic system but also often functions as tool of social control of the state apparatus. How could the implementation of social work avoid the imposition of mainstream values on indigenous peoples or become accessory to the State's assimilation and control powers, as it is privileged with abundance of resources, have long been crucial questions for indigenous social works to reflect upon. The key of doing well social work with indigenous people is applying the local and traditional helping system embedded in the tribal culture. It is because most indigenous societies emphasize the ethical principles about mutual reciprocity and collective care in the families and villages. Da-an River Tribal Community Work Station started the dialogue between the indigenous culture and social work through the community care project, tribal kitchen. This article begins with the experience at the co-op kitchen at the Da-an River tribal community of the Atayal people to examine the reality of cross-culture social work in indigenous communities. It focuses on the process and challenges in conducting culture care and solidarity economy projects in Taiwan. |
