We see the plate hung on the gate saying that

Taiwanese Aboriginal Cultural

Park.　　　　　　　　　　　　　

At 9o’clock, November 6, we gather at

the gate of the cultural park. After briefing

us about the regulations here, we go to the

first stop of our journey --- the museum.

Here is the museum. The guide is

talking about the distribution of

aboriginals before the big map of

the Distribution of Aboriginal

Ethnic Groups.　　　

The guide tells us that the primitive

aboriginals made fire by drilling

wood. It sounds so interesting. I

mistook the waxwork as real man.

It is the boat of Yami ethnic group.

The guide tells about the usages of

Yami’s boat. Yami people are

master of boat making. 　　　　　　　　　　

The guide takes us to see the

traditional clothes of various

ethnic groups.

A welcoming ceremony is held

before the museum. After the

dances and songs, the names of

the twelve ethnic groups are named

and a fire is made by drilling wood,

just as our grandpas and grannies

(vuvu) did in the past.　　

After naming the twelve ethnic

groups, twelve firecrackers are

ignited to represent Atayal, Saisiat,

Taroko, Thao, Bunun, Amei, Tsou,

Rukai, Puyuma, Paiwan, Yami, and

Gamalan.

This is the theatre where people

can watch dancing and singing

performance. There are many

audiences. The performance covers

the cultures of twelve ethnic

groups.　　　　

We take a group photo before

Naluwan performance center.

Everyone is laughing happily.

After the tour the teachers gathered

us together to go home. It is an

interesting day and I hope we could

revisit it with big brothers and sisters

Moreover, I would like to invite

everyone to visit the aboriginal

cultural park in our Beiyeh

Village.
