The Indigenous Culture Park was opened to the public in 1987. It was established as an outdoor museum in the Fuguwan region, which in the Paiwan language means "fertile land". It is located near the Ailiao River at the foot of Dawu Mountain, in Beiye Village of Majia Townshipin Pingtung County. To enter the park, it is necessary to pass Shueimen, which is the transportation hub for the three indigenous villages of Sandimen, Majia, and Wutai. Living nearby are the Paiwan and Rukai tribes, and so the area is immersed with indigenous cultures. The park has a total area of 82.65 hectares, at an elevation of between 145 and 220 meters. The park is rich in natural beauty with diverse landscapes.
Cultrual Activites Session
A. Bunun Spinning Top
Spinning spin tops is an activity that the Bunun does after the weed-hoeing ritual. This is to wish for the millet to grow as fast as the spinning spin tops.
B.Taiwan Indigenous Archery
In the past, archery is one of the essential life skills for the Truku people. Only those who can shoot a prey is deemed a warrior. Today, Taiwan Indigenous traditional archery is a sport that presents the unique feature of traditional indigenous art.
C. Pinuyumayan Swing
At the end of each year, the Pinuyumayan people hold a series of festivals and rituals to worship the ancestors, and gods of the land, the grains and the heaven. It is rude to interrupt or sneeze during the ritual and therefore, a swing is set up for the children to play. Since then, the swing became a part of the ritual and is for both children and grown-ups to play.
To the Rukai and Paiwan people, the swing symbolizes a family’s social status in the tribal community. It is also used during traditional wedding ceremonies, when the swing is set up by the groom and swung by the bride. The higher the bride swings, the closer she is to the heaven and therefore, the more blessing she would receive.
14:00~15:00【Indigenous Dancing Performances】(45 minutes)
This Amis musical and dance performance is woven throughout with the tribe’s unique call-and-response singing style and collective dance movements. It begins with the rehearsals for the Harvest Festival, where tribe members prepare their songs and dances. The performance unfolds in a dynamic interplay of soaring, powerful vocals and deep, resonant melodies, creating an exhilarating and immersive experience that captivates the audience.
15:00～16:00【Indigenous Exhibition : nutjaivililj】(50 minutes)
This exhibition, which seamlessly blends history, art, and culture, is not only profound but also full of surprises—making it the perfect choice for an educational and entertaining experience.
In the Paiwan language, nutjaivililj means "future" or "later," carrying the additional nuance of "coming in sequence after." This unique perception of time allows us to stand in the present, look back at the past, and understand how history shapes the future. The wisdom and culture of our ancestors serve as a guide, leading us toward a broader and more sustainable future.
Featuring over 200 precious artifacts, the exhibition showcases how our ancestors integrated flora, fauna, celestial bodies, and natural phenomena into daily life. From everyday objects and traditional attire to sacred rituals, each layer unveils the rich cultural narratives of Indigenous peoples.
