CARE for the aboriginal coordinate in Wutai

" In these four years, how to fill out the geographic gap between two distant sites? The answer is nothing but care." said Chair person of Rukai Public Group, Mr. Bao

Back to 2009, six indigenous tribes in Wutai, including Rukai and Paiwan peoples, moved to Changzhi lily permanent housing after Typhoon Morakot, where they started new lives at a very different site. Due to the difference of culture and lifestyle, adjustment became an issue to many immigrant tribesmen. As the chieftain, Mr. Ji Cheng Bau, reconstructed this place to become an ideal homeland with the tribesmen. One of the challenges he faced was cultural sustainability. How to pass on cultural heritage to the next generations is a critical task for him. Through this serendipity, the USR project teams from ISU got the chance to join them to collaboratively work on this task of cultural sustainability. 

To illustrate, totems can represent the cultural images of the tribes. In the beginning, there was no specific arrangement in Changzhi lily permanent housing. The entrance gate looked desert without vitality. After researching Rukai culture, many cultural components were identified, such as lily represents the sacred; swings are used for princesses' wedding, which can be the metaphor as the marriage with the land; sparrows symbolize the harvest of millet; rainbow stands for a dream path to celestial heaven. The USR project teams convert these elements into refreshed public installation art. Not only the sparrow sculptures and the lily swing were installed in the front of the Rukai royal college, but also the rainbow gallery, built by the priest, elderly and students, became the local attractions. To the tribesmen, the spirits of totems are blended in lives. In the meanwhile, they also created the tourism highlights of this place. 

Besides, the priest, Mr. Tanubake Rakerake, who has been dedicated to long-term care for tribal elderly over 20 years, also serves at the permanent housing. He regarded that the Rukai royal college functioned as an integrated platform which benefits cultural sustainability as well as long-term care for this community. It is a place that many medicine-related departments can provide services, such as health propagation and physical check. Teleconferencing technology was once implemented for this purpose, too. The tribal elderly could easily access health knowledge no matter how far they were from urban areas. In addition, Priest Tanubake worked with the faculty and students from the Department of Nutrition to develop healthy recipes for tribal elderly. Nowadays, the meals are not only tasty, but also nutrient. He mentioned:" If you ask the elderly, they can definitely recognize this university, these faculty members and students. The relationship between I-Shou university and the tribe is like family." To him, this USR project resulted in many impacts to this housing, externally and internally, and vice versa. 

Two interviewees indicated that" dual-track model" means much to the tribal development. It means that the tribesmen nicely treat the elderly as kings and queens, and the elderly can pass on their wisdom to the next generation in return. They both agreed that Rukai royal college play a great role, which continuously encourages the development of this permanent housing. In the future, they expect more fabulous art installation at this site to promote their culture. Plus, more health propagation and long-term care can be invested here for the elderly. No matter what service to the tribes, Chieftrin Bao summed up by a word, "care!" , which is originated from LOVE.
