This study adopts the image of“finding a way”towards cultural recovery. It calls on the indigenous Wulai area of New Taipei City and the Shuiyuan tribe in Xiulin Township, Hualien County as the observation sites to explore how contemporary Tayal and Truku groups seek recovery of their weaving roots and innovation in a dialogue back and forth between tradition and contemporary times in labor production and knowledge practices. In their daily life of resistance, the weavers stand for the position of indigenous women while they build a gentle, firm and resilient female power within the existing social network. In the changing historical process and the diverse and heterogeneous context of indigenous women, the communities in Wulai and Shuiyuan areas use their special female knowledge to present the root-seeking stories which derive from similar colonial experiences in the general environment and differences in local social changes. This analysis shows the differences and similarities between the resistance paths of“grafting reproduction”and“rhizome reproduction”, demonstrating decolonializing female power and empowerment. |
