卡那卡那富族（KanakanaVu）現多居住於高雄市那瑪夏區的楠梓仙溪兩畔臺地，荷蘭治臺時期即有與外人交往的紀錄，在清代到日治期間，更被許多抵臺官員、學者記載於史籍圖冊中，惟自莫拉克風災後，許多聚落與文物受到不同程度的影響與衝擊，甚至有散佚失傳的危機。童玩與遊戲不只是一種消遣、娛樂，在卡那卡那富族人的行為與身心發展上亦扮演著非常重要的角色。尤其是在孩童成長階段，讓其以手工和天然材質製造的童玩，正是開始接觸工具、培養生活技能的重要環節。

People of the KanakanaVu Tribe now live mostly along the banks of the Nanzixian River of Namasia District, Kaohsiung City. The tribe had started communicating with the world since the time when the Hollanders occupied and ruled Taiwan. What’s more, events concerning the tribe had been recorded and documented by officials and scholars arriving in Taiwan during the time from the Ching dynasty to Japanese ruling. However, after the devastating Typhoon Morakot, a lot of sub-tribes and cultural relics were ruined and lost. For the KanakanaVu Tribe, Kid toys function not only as a pastime but as an important medium conducive to the development of body and mind of the tribal children. The nature-made and hand-made toys contribute a lot to the cultivation in children of important skills required in daily life.
