The purpose of this study is to reveal the present situation of the trade in Indigenous Reserved Land between indigenous and non-indigenous people, and to show how it challenges the realization of indigenous land rights in Taiwan. In 1993, Taiwan's indigenous peoples' “3rd Return My Land Movement" shifted the goal from increasing the amount of Indigenous Reserved Lands, the land parcels reserved for the “protection" of indigenous livelihood since the Japanese colonial era, to the recognition of inherent indigenous sovereignty. The movement prompted a certain response from the government after 2000, and inspired a wealth of studies of indigenous traditional territories covering much wider areas than the current Indigenous Reserved Lands. This marks a millstone for indigenous land rights in Taiwan However, on the other hand, the relatively low concern with Indigenous Reserved Land in the past decade led to an ambiguous understanding of the present situation of Indigenous Reserved Lands under rapidly changing circumstances. Combining the method of ethnographic study with the Geographical Information System, this study reviews the transition of land use in the researched area, describes the newly emerged broker mechanism, and analyzes the newly shaped political-economic structure dominating land development in indigenous townships. In conclusion, this paper re-examines indigenous land policies and makes suggestions as to how to realize indigenous land rights in contemporary Taiwan. |
