1.Summary
of Our Project:
This project
introduced the cuisine culture of Truku people and
conveyed the Truku culture through the sharing of
respondents and the text or image records of the
knowledge and cooking skills of Truku cuisine
culture.
The food culture of
Truku people is simple and environmental-friendly. They can
live on the ecosystem nurtured by the nature. Briefly
speaking, they will use any ingredient in their living
environment to cook food. In the past, they lived a
self-sufficient life without intentionally hunting a large
number of animals or collecting excessive amount of wild
vegetables and fruits. It is their common belief to obey the
ecological laws of Nature.
In recent years,
because in-depth tourism and healthy food are quite popular
in Taiwan, Truku people have started to think about how to
bring tourism into their tribe. With the assistance from
public departments and enthusiasts in the tribe, the
cultural ecology and industry of the tribe have been
activated and put into marketing. Although there isn’t any
natural and ecological landscape in Jiancing Village and its
economic value of sporadic industries is limited, there are
diversified cultural ecology and valuable industries in the
areas where the Truku people reside.
This year, our school
selected traditional cuisine of the tribe as the research
theme to provide courses where students can experience local
cuisines and to conduct interviews. The sharing of female
community volunteers and the person in charge of local
cuisine enabled all the students to understand the
traditional food in the past and creative cuisines in modern
days. Moreover, the introduction to the tribe’s cuisine
restaurants also enabled them to better understand the
history and ecological landscape. More importantly, all the
text or image records were transformed into knowledge and
posted on the information platform to be shared with the
world. More people can understand the cultural insights into
Truku people from the perspectives of conveyance, respect,
education and affection.[up]

Description of "Our Community":
Jiancing
Village is located in the center of Wanrung, Hualien
County, with Silin Village in the north, Wanrung
Village in the south, Nanping Village, Fenglin
Township in the east, and Central Mountain Range in
the west. Jiancing Village is the smallest village
in the township where residents are unsophisticated
and hospitable. Approximately more than 90% of the
residents in the village are Truku people. The Truku
people are now highly populated in Sioulin Township
and Wanrung Township in Hualien County, and a few of
them reside in other villages, Lishan Village in
Chuosi Township and three villages in Jian Township
– Chingfeng, Nanhua, and Fusing.
In terms of the labor
structure in Jiancing Community, most of the residents
engage in agricultural, industrial, and service industries.
There is no specific industrial operation in the community,
and the labor forces have to look for working opportunities
outside the community. As a result, the family functions in
the community are incomplete, resulting in many educational
problems and the population’s sense of loss. Therefore, the
role and status of our school are particularly important. In
addition to taking into account the physical and
psychological development of children in the community, our
school should also attach importance to the thematic courses
of local culture and cooperate with private and government
units, in order to systemically preserve the culture of
Truku people.
Our school
established a cultural club to explore and investigate the
culture, and the research projects of many themes have been
completed and published, including Truku weaving, Truku
rituals, Truku hunting, and Truku facial tattoo. Our school
instructs students in basic academic abilities through
education process, which also enables them to indirectly
obtain abundant cultural intelligence.[up]
