魯凱族分佈中央山脈東西兩側，因為居住環境的變遷，受到鄰近不同族群、區域文化影響，傳統習俗發展互有差異，而1960年代西部霧台鄉魯凱族遷徙東部金峰鄉，在排灣族領域上定居生活，為了適應環境，語言及文化逐漸同化於主流社會下。遷居嘉蘭村的魯凱族人，以常見的百合花象徵意義轉化為對原鄉的思念，藉由百合花飾權儀式、歌舞與石板屋、陶藝創作等方式，維繫故鄉文化傳承，也找回自我的族群認同。本文經由「百合花記」特展的規劃，同時假博物館、部落兩個場域進行展演，觀察嘉蘭魯凱族人生活於排灣族主流文化的夾縫中，如何尋求族群文化生存空間？百合花文化居中擔任何種角色？當展演場域轉換為真實生活空間，地方意識凌駕於族群之上，集體情感的釋放又如何調適等背後的意涵。

Rukai tribes scatter both east and west sides of the Central Mountain Range. The evolvements of their traditional cultures appear differently due to the influence of nearby ethnic groups and regional cultures. In 1960s, a group of Rukai people migrated east to Jinfeng Township from Wutai of the West, located in the territory of Paiwan, and gradually accommodated their language and culture to the mainstream. Rukai people in Jialan Village convert the symbolic meaning of lily into the nostalgia toward their origin, and pass down traditional culture through lily empower ritual, song and dance, slate house, and pottery art. In the way, they find their ethnic identity back. The exhibition and performance “The Story of Lily” took place in the museum and the Jialan village simultaneously. This essay focus on the observation of some half-hidden cultural features such as: How do Jialan Rukai people, who live among Paiwan, seek for the survival of their culture? What role does the lily take in their culture? When the exhibition took place in the community, and local identity overtopped ethnic identity, how did they accommodate themselves on the release of collective emotion?
