With the changes in society, the general public have grown more interested in the way indigenous peoples live and have started to visit indigenous communities. It is easy to simply learn about “visible” and “tangible” sides of culture, but to make good sense of each indigenous people’s view of life and value has been largely overlooked. For example, “fire” is a necessity of life for the Thao people, so every man and woman; people young and old, need to travel to the mountains and carry logs back to their community at a designated time. This mission also symbolises a collective effort by every community member.
Furthermore, mountain hiking has been popular in recent years, and exploring abandoned indigenous settlements has become one of the root tracing methods young people have adopted. The real test is not about walking an extremely long distance, but to look for the most essential and purest view of life of the ancient indigenous communities and to become aware of the wisdom and experience passed down from their ancestors.
Recently, more and more non-indigenous friends are keen to visit our communities and to know more about our culture. During their visits, they might experience a paradigm shift. Both visitors and indigenous peoples can voice their opinions and share with one another, so that we can put ourselves in others’ shoes and understand their cultures. In turn, we gain clear insight into the basics of our own community, which forms a unique view of life.
