台灣自從1993年兒童保護工作上路以後，政府投注大量資源於兒童保護。但缺乏文化敏感度的原住民兒童保護工作，是否會如澳洲政府對待原住民一般，形成「失竊的一代」？本文旨在探討原住民族兒童保護工作如何可能具備文化敏感度，並針對原住民家庭的污名，進行意識型態的解碼工作。
借鏡於美澳加三國原住民兒童保護工作的批判，我們照見台灣當前的都市原住民族兒童保護工作缺乏文化敏感度，帶著漢人族群中心所預設的「正常家庭功能」想像，往往會使得個別社工員無意間變成殖民主義的幫手，都市原住民族兒童被帶離其文化環境並喪失文化認同。透過跨文化社會工作的民族誌視角，作者反思其工作經驗，提出幾個工作上的建議：（1）了解被殖民的歷史及都市原住民的遷移脈絡、（2）理解原住民族的家庭及親屬組成、（3）家族會議的運用、（4）認知族群認同為原住民兒童保護工作處遇的重要課題。善用原住民族知識及文化意義系統，可會使得跨文化社會工作成為原漢之間彼此學習與對話的領域。若漢人社工員缺乏文化敏感度及對原漢關係的歷史性了解，則原住民家庭很容易被漢人社工員誤判，並作出不合文化期待的處遇，原住民族兒童在此過程中，可能會被剝奪其發展族群認同的基本權益，導致長期的傷害。這篇文章希望能喚起學術與社會工作者正視此議題的重要性，社會工作者文化敏感度與文化能力的養成，已是刻不容緩的重要議題。

Since the Child Protection Service Act enacted in 2003, Taiwanese
government brought a great deal of resources into Child Protection Services. However, what would happen if the child protection services were color-blind? Would the indigenous children repeat the tragedy of ‘the stolen generation’ in Australia? How could social workers be aware of cultural differences in their routine work? This paper aims at addressing issues of cultural sensitivity in child service protection.
This article is written by a sociologist and a social worker with Han ethnic identity, who have been working with indigenous communities for several years. Since we often encountered hostile questions that blamed indigenous families as problematic and ‘non-functional’ families, we begin with analyzing the stigmatization process of the indigenous family and pointing out how the ideological code worked in the process. We argue, without paying attention to the power relations between Taiwanese and indigenous people, social workers often assumed that the Taiwanese family is the normative family, and adversely exercised colonial powers to indigenous people. Indigenous children were often brought away from their family and lost their cultural identities. By reflecting on our experiences, we promoted several strategies to enhance social workers’ cultural sensitivity.
