This course centers on Indigenous students and focuses on tribal tourism experiences, guiding them to move from passive participants to culturally grounded planners, and to practice cultural autonomy and community self-determination. It is grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and emphasizes students’ understanding of their own languages, cultures, histories, and traditional knowledge as the foundation for tourism planning. Students examine key concepts and global trends in Indigenous tourism, including the principles of community-based tourism such as local governance, cultural authenticity, and equitable benefit-sharing. They also critically reflect on the risks of cultural commodification and explore how to balance economic development with cultural integrity. Through engagement with elders, youth, and tourism professionals, the course fosters cultural identity and a sense of responsibility toward community futures. Students develop practical skills in itinerary design, cultural interpretation, marketing, and collaboration, culminating in a final tribal tourism proposal that integrates theory and practice to support sustainable development and Indigenous self-determination.

This course begins with students’ learning motivations and introduces key issues closely related to contemporary Indigenous life and cultural identity, guiding students to explore the diversity of Taiwan’s Indigenous cultures. It focuses on topics such as Indigenous naming practices, myths and cosmologies, the history and contemporary conditions of Plains Indigenous groups, major issues in Indigenous education, traditional textile arts and modern fashion, and the relationship between traditional knowledge and environmental sustainability. These themes balance cultural engagement with intellectual depth, enabling students to draw from their own cultural experiences to understand and appreciate Indigenous knowledge systems. The course incorporates guided video discussions, guest lectures, and hands-on cultural workshops to connect academic content with students’ everyday lives and identities. Emphasizing open dialogue and critical reflection, students are encouraged to explore the cultural meanings of their names, examine Indigenous worldviews in myths, recognize historically marginalized Plains Indigenous groups, and consider the contemporary relevance of Indigenous knowledge. The course aims to enhance students’ understanding of both their own and others’ cultures, strengthen cultural identity and subjectivity, and foster a sense of responsibility and capacity to actively participate in cultural transmission and the preservation of cultural diversity.

This course is designed to equip students with professional competencies in planning and executing Indigenous tribal guided tours. Integrating Austronesian issues with themes such as rituals, traditional crafts, and daily life, the curriculum guides students in interpreting Indigenous knowledge from diverse perspectives. Through sessions with tribal elders and experts, students examine the practicalities, ethics, and risk management involved in field guiding. A core component involves fieldwork within students’ own communities, where they conduct historical research, design tour routes, and draft narrative scripts. Ultimately, the course fosters interpretive practices that respect tribal subjectivity while addressing tourism demands, thereby promoting the authentic representation and sustainable transmission of Indigenous culture.

This course explores the formation and evolution of Taiwan’s Indigenous tribal societies through both historical and contemporary lenses. It examines key themes such as tribal migration, social structures, and cultural heritage—including Austronesian traditions, rituals, architecture, and traditional arts—to reveal their underlying worldviews. By analyzing how different groups navigate modernization and political challenges, students will gain insight into Indigenous resilience and adaptation. The curriculum integrates guest lectures by tribal elders and experts, documentary screenings, and critical discussions on the interplay between state policies and tribal life. The goal is to foster respect for cultural subjectivity and diversity, strengthening students’ cultural identity and historical consciousness. Ultimately, the course empowers students to actively participate in sustainable tribal development and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Education is the cornerstone of a country’s social development and a critical way of a nation’s culture. The 400-year colonial history of Taiwan indigenous people has received little attention from mainstream education; therefore, the public has many prejudices and distorted imaginations about the culture and traditions of the indigenous people in Taiwan. This course is, from the perspective of education, to understand the various educational issues and developments of indigenous peoples. Through the discussion of various issues and aspects of indigenous education, you will have a better understanding of the situation and development of indigenous peoples in Taiwan. These understandings should be turned into actions to actively concern about or solve the current educational or cultural problems faced by indigenous peoples.

This course aims to help students understand Taiwanese indigenous cultures and contemporary important indigenous issues. We expect to develop students’ perspectives and enhance their understanding of different indigenous cultural characteristics. In addition, this course helps promote students’ critical reflections on indigenous issues and enhance their attention to these issues.

Policies and regulations aim to set policy goals and guide policy practices. The establishment of indigenous policies and regulations has great effects on indigenous people. This course covers three main issues. First, this course helps the students understand the theoretical foundations and contents of indigenous policies and regulations as well as their contextual development. Second, this course helps the students critically reflect on the practice of indigenous policies and regulations through discussions about current indigenous policy issues. Third, this course helps the students combine theories and practices, allowing them to fully understand indigenous policies and regulations.
