這周是我們第一次參與文建站的活動,我和Annabelle見到了李金妹、李金蘭阿嬤兩姊妹,還有何秀妹阿嬤。金蘭阿嬤的五官深邃,總覺得看起來有點酷;金妹阿嬤看起來很聰明,而且相當健談,說話很有條理;秀妹阿嬤則是非常的活潑可愛,說話有很多生動的小動作。

We had a very engaging time this week at Naluwan with our grandmas. Together with the grandmas, we made seashell hanging ornaments using the shells we collected last week.
Interesting how you managed to discover the Amis language connection to Malay, further connection to Austronesian, and the similarities the language has to other Asian languages. I also liked your posed questions, which are in line with what I am concerned about after reading your piece. I remembered posing such a similar question to my Ahma, regarding whether there would be a loss of culture as the younger generation starts to live far away from their original hometown, Taitung. She mentioned that the younger generation here in Naluwan, Hsinchu are working hard to continue to uphold the Amis culture and roots in their new "home". So hopefully for generations to come, the Amis people will not lose their heritage, and not forget their original roots.
This week, one of the grandma shared more about her attachment and relations with Naluwan in Hsinchu.
I was seated with the same grandmas of the families I met last week and was also attached to a new grandma at the table.
