In recent years, aboriginal groups in Taiwan are seeking to preserve their folkways
and languages as well as to return to, or remain on, their traditional lands. Eco-tourism,
sewing and selling tribal carvings, jewelry and music has become a viable area of
economic opportunity. However, tourism-based commercial development seems not a
panacea. Moreover, some national parks have been built on aboriginal lands against the
wishes of the local tribes, prompting one Taroko activist to label the Taroko National Park
as a form of “environmental colonialism”. Due to the close proximity of aboriginal land to
the mountains, many tribes have hoped to cash in on hot spring ventures and hotels, where
they offer singing and dancing to add to the ambiance. Considerable government funding
has been allocated to museums and culture centers focusing on Taiwan’s aboriginal
heritage. Critics often call the ventures exploitative and “superficial portrayals” of
aboriginal culture. Proponents of ethno-tourism suggest that such projects can positively
impact the public image and economic prospects of the indigenous community.

A restive population is worrisome to Chinese officials. Rising prices helped to foment
massive civil unrest in 1989, and peasants to this day are resentful over harsh measures
the central government used to rein in inflation, such as a crackdown on bank lending
that brought growth to a halt in areas outside major cities.
There are two responses to trauma: to hold onto it in all its vividness and remain its
captive; or without necessarily conquering it, to gradually integrate it into the day-by-
day.
