昨天(4/17)是鄒族人權志士 Uyongʉ Yata’uyungana(漢名:高一生)的逝世 60 週年,許多人都紛紛在這一天,分享 Uyongʉ 先生一生為原住民族自治而奮鬥的歷史。但我們今天不要講太沈重的歷史,而是要從他與愛妻湯川小姐的故事說起。

The ‘Mayasvi’ or Ceremony of War and Triumph is the greatest event in the calendar of Taiwan’s Tsou people. Now only carried out in either Tefuye (Tfuya) or Dabang (Tapangʉ) village in Alishan, the celebration has no fixed day, but instead the date is traditionally fixed each year by village males depending on such factors as how many babies had been born so far that year.
