To echo the spirit of \u201cIndigenous Education for All\u201d and deepen faculty and students\u2019 understanding of Indigenous education and culture, the NTNU Indigenous Student Resource Center held the \u201cMountain Hunters: The Emerald Path\u201d cultural immersion trip on October 18. Participants visited Heping Village in Wufeng Township, Hsinchu County, to explore how a young Atayal farmer returning home integrates traditional culture with agricultural experiences and eco-tourism to promote sustainable community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Huang Chih-Hsiang noted that Malai Farm represents a model of community tourism that balances environmental friendliness with cultural promotion. From the symbolic blessing ritual featuring the Atayal shawl and millet wine ceremony that immersed visitors in Atayal traditions, to crafting bamboo utensils and learning about sustainable use of natural resources, and finally to the \u201cfarm-to-table\u201d dining concept, every activity reflected the farmer\u2019s respect and care for the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the cool autumn air of Heping Village, the fertile soil and winding mountain roads exuded the scent of fruit and earth, guiding visitors into the heart of the forest. Setting foot on the land evoked a profound sense of homecoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ipay, a staff member of the Resource Center, explained that situated at an elevation of around 700 meters, Heping Village\u2019s climate is ideal for growing high-altitude fruits and vegetables. Among the many community farms, Malai Farm was chosen for this trip because of its ability to integrate Atayal cultural values into every learning experience, allowing participants to \u201clearn by doing\u201d and build new connections between culture and community industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe acacia trees along the ridge remind our people never to forget the road home,\u201d said Malai, the young farmer who returned to his homeland. \u201cComing home doesn\u2019t mean going back to the past\u2014it means finding that piece of land within your heart.\u201d Understanding that local resources are limited, Malai advocates for diverse land use to achieve sustainable forestry. He believes that maintaining the white purity of heart, red passion for learning, and black wisdom of elders will guide youth to rediscover their identity through the land.\nMalai shared that every dish prepared that day carried a story of the community: pumpkins from Yayun Farm, and Hunter\u2019s Rice and Bamboo-Steamed Eggs from Hani Farm. \u201cFrom the land to the table, every meal embodies the spirit of cooperation and the philosophy of eating locally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wang Tzu-Chen, a senior in the Department of English, shared that this was her first time joining an activity organized by the Indigenous Student Resource Center. \u201cI truly appreciate the university\u2019s effort,\u201d she said. \u201cImmersing myself in Atayal culture for an entire day was deeply fulfilling\u2014I\u2019ve seen how the Atayal people cherish and utilize their land, maintaining their industries through sustainable forest-based practices. I invite everyone to visit the village and let the forest heal your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun I said he grew up in the mountains and feels a strong sense of cultural identity. His family runs a fruit orchard, and this trip made him rethink the future of his hometown\u2019s agricultural industry. \n\n\u201cThis visit taught me a lot about farm management and helped me clarify what I want to do for my community,\u201d Sun said. \u201cI hope to introduce more efficient farming practices so that small farmers can develop high-quality, specialized agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently studying in the Department of Civic Education and Leadership, Sun has a background in scouting and rope-based outdoor education. He plans to combine camping and forest therapy to create an Indigenous campsite that integrates cultural learning with adventure education. During the upcoming winter break, he will apprentice with Atayal craftsman Wei Chien-Fu to learn traditional house-building, rattan weaving, and archery. \u201cThese traditions are the roots of our people,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are what I wish to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing the Mission of Indigenous Education\n\nHana, NTNU\u2019s Indigenous Student Advisor, added that the Resource Center continues to design diverse activities to help NTNU Indigenous students reconnect with their cultural memories and communities. On November 10, the Center will host the \u201cMemory\u201d Photography Exhibition themed \u201cTribal Rituals\u201d, showcasing Indigenous life and spirituality through images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Huang Chih-Hsiang further emphasized that NTNU remains committed to advancing Indigenous Education for All. The initiative has attracted participants from diverse backgrounds, including international students from Myanmar and Malaysia, enriching cross-cultural understanding and fostering inclusivity on campus. Upcoming events include the 30th Northern Taiwan Intercollegiate Indigenous Language Singing Contest on November 29, and the 5th NTNU Lima Cup Indigenous Student Games on December 7, which aim to promote language preservation, cultural expression, and intercollegiate unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through learning and shared experiences, participants witnessed the wisdom and vitality of Indigenous cultures. As understanding replaces distance and respect turns into action, the memory of culture continues to be seen, heard, and carried forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
