近代原住民與台灣整體社會互動關係密切，簡單回顧其歷史， 從荷蘭武力治理、日治時期「皇民化」到民國之後的「同化」政策， 殖民化政策的影響無所不在，尤其是移植外來生活與文化的模式， 造成民族意識與文化喪失最為深遠。 位於台灣東南部區域的卑南族知本部落文化發展，人類學家開 啟了學術研究和進行文物調查的先河，原住民文化即不斷地被他人 再現與詮釋；戰後台灣社會文化面臨「西化」環境，傳統文化內涵 無法得到應有的認識與尊重，部落藝術表現根本被邊緣化，甚至秉 除在主流論述空間之外。 本文從後殖民主義(postcolonialism) 觀點，探討知本部落傳統文化的失落，藉由文化復振及原住民藝術家探索，以西方藝術形式或文化發展思維詮釋部落文化內涵，尋求部落與社會認同，另經物件（藝術作品）與部落傳統的生命觀內涵，重新審視以部落為主體的藝術倫理秩序與空間關係。

The interaction between indegenous peoples in Taiwan and the entire Taiwan’s society in modern times has been very close. Through a simple flash-back of Taiwan’s history, we can understand that the effect of Colonialism was omnipresent from the era of Holland’s military sanctions, The Kominka Movement in the Japanese Colonial Period, and to the policy of national assimilation in the year of ROC (Republic of China), Especially of the implantation of the foreign way of living and culture, which had caused serious the loss of the consciousness of indigenous peoples’ ethinic identity and their culture. Anthropologists pioneered the tribe’s academic research and investigation of the artifacts of the Puyuma Tribe in Chih-Pen, Taitung, Taiwan (ROC) . With their help, the indigenous peoples’ culture was revealed again and given new annotations ever since. After the WW II, Taiwan faced the impact of Westernization, which caused that Taiwan’s traditional culture could be rightfully neither respected nor understood. Indegenous tribal art performances were marginalized and even been cast out from main discussion stream. My study will discuss the tribal loss of traditional culture in Chih- Pen’s through viewpoints of Post-colonialism., This study uses the western art form and/or the concepts of western cultural development to elaborate the connotation of tribes’ traditional culture in Taiwan by the renaissance of its culture and the exploration of indegenous artists and to seek the identification of the tribes and the society. Additionally, the study wishes to re-examine the ethic order and the extent of art, with tribes as priority, through the objects (artifacts) and the tribes’ aspect of life.
