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.

Reflection on how Place can be Preserved for Generations to Come

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.

尋找一個叫做家的地方

我訪問到的阿嬤也有在高度人力密集的產業中工作過，如餐飲、紡織等等，反映了當代大環境中原民來到都市的處境。都市原民作為台灣產業發展的推手之一，卻無法擁有安身立命的家，而被迫在各處流浪，直到近代才開啟了與政府溝通的橋樑，卻依然有種種難題需要克服。

這次主要聊的是阿嬤們的遷移旅程，我們主要訪問到的是一對姊妹，年齡相差兩歲，在小學的時候因為有仲介介紹，一同來到台北工作。

以下是他們的遷移過程：
台東-花蓮-台北（有仲介介紹台北的工作，但很多人受騙被賣到妓院）-桃園-台北-新竹
小學因經濟因素離開台東，搭巴士到花蓮，再搭火車到台北（大概民國57年）

當你在搜尋器上打出那魯灣 新竹，會看到標題幾乎都是『全新開放絕美地景遊戲場！「那魯灣文化聚落」玩超快溜滑梯 』等等的文章，當你真正進去這個所謂『文化聚落』後，會發現原來這只是當權者的一種企圖，那魯灣所面臨的困境並非藉由地景遊戲場可以解決，但我發現這是一種政府慣用手法，將完全脫離脈絡的建築蓋在想要宣傳的地點上，當天進入社區後所看到的是兩種截然不同的景色，一方面可以理解政府為什麼需要對當地做重劃

Listening to the passing trains slowly accelerating away made me excited for what was to come in Naluwan. Arriving at Xiangshan station was a whole new feeling, it was peaceful.
