Previously, the Seediq had been classified as a sub-tribe related to Atayal. It was not until 2008 that the Seediq were officially recognized as Taiwan's 14th indigenous group, and all aspects of their cultural characteristics have since been treasured and highlighted increasingly. In 2012, the Nantou County Government announced the Seediq’s traditional weaving handicraft Puniri would be classified as intangible cultural heritage. Human beings, the carriers of cultures, are practitioners of craftsmanship whose endeavors ensure that folk arts continue to be followed and transmitted. Through examining the life experiences and learning processes of three female weavers from different generations within registered preservers’families, this study aims to observe and portray this craft’s preservation conditions and the self-construction processes during weaving activities. First, this article will summarize the cultural content of traditional weaving. Second, the distinct features presented in the Seediq weaving products will be stated in accordance with examining the artifacts’textures, forms and decorative patterns. And conclusively, the findings in observations and analyses of this research are expected to provide recommendations to promote the safeguarding and conservation/preservation of such artifacts in the future. |
