Refashioning a new Ethnic Identity and the influence of religions among the Taiwan Natives

台湾自日治时期以来，曾有9个原住民族群。然而，在过去的十年里，台湾族群的边界发生了变化，新的族群认同也在形成。邵族成为第10<th>个部落，噶玛兰族成为第11个部落，而从泰雅族分离出来的特鲁古族成为第12个部落。2007年，Sakizaya从阿美族中分离出来，成为第13个部落。我认为，台湾原住民形成新族群认同的潮流与宗教的影响。基督教长老会的牧师们一直关心特鲁库部落的官方承认。通过将圣经翻译成他们的语言，他们建立了书写他们语言的规则。在学校教育中使用母语是对他们语言的熟悉。他们利用日本文学和口述历史重建历史。基督教会的许多活动对重新认识他们的种族身份有影响。阿美族民间宗教的祭司，也就是巫医，定义他们的族群身份和他们自己的神。许多村民成了基督徒。虽然有些祭司也曾成为基督徒，但他们更清楚地认识到他们的神是什么。一些牧师信仰汉族的宗教。有时候他们会成为中国的巫师，叫做唐基。这些信仰使他们产生了族群意识，重新思考自己的族群边界.我注意到Sakizaya有效地利用了网络媒体，他们利用网络媒体工具坚持了自己的身份感。透过这些观点，我思考台湾原住民的新族群认同与宗教的影响。

There had been 9 indigenous peoples in Taiwan since the Japanese colonial period. However the boundaries of Taiwanese ethnic groups have been changed and new ethnic identities have been fashioned in the past decade. The Thao became the 10^<th> tribe, the Kavalan became 11th, and the Truku which separated from the Atayal became the 12th tribe. In 2007, the Sakizaya were separated from the Amis and became the 13th tribe. I consider the tide of the fashioning a new ethnic identity and the influence of religions among the Taiwan Natives.1. The priests of the Christian Presbyterian Church have been concerned with official recognition of the Truku tribe. Through their translation of the Bible into their language, they established the rules of writing their language. The acquaintance with their language has been by using their mother language in school education. They reconstruct their history by using Japanese literature and their oral histories. Many activities of Christian churches have been influential in making reconsciousness their ethnic identity.2. The priests of folk religion among Amis tribe who are also witch doctors define their ethnic identity and their own Gods. Many villagers have become Christians. Though even some priests also had become Christians before, they noticed more clearly what their Gods were. Some priests have believed the religion of the Han. Sometimes they become Chinese shamans called Tang-ki. These beliefs bring them ethnic consciousness and they reconsider their ethnic boundary.3. I notice the Sakizaya using internet media effectually, they insisted their sense of own identity using the internet media tools. Sometimes they reported to the world with Chinese and English by internet newspapers.Through these points I considered about Taiwan Native's new ethnic identity and the influence of religions.
