Description

In this paper, the research focuses on Taiwanese aboriginal Taromak's hunting in their present daily life and via the viewpoint of minor subsistence, which has been deeply involved in nature on spiritual and cultural aspect. <br>We explored their real hunting culture through the interview survey based on various aspects of hunting activities such as hunting skills and processes as well as taboos, rituals, and view of nature from 30's to 70's generations who have hunted experience. <br>As a result, Taromak's hunting culture has revealed the characteristics of minor subsistence that they are trying to inherit to the next generation. It is included with social and spiritual values, such as a true hunter's virtue, spirit of sharing, hunting's embodiment and symbolism, for instance, "'agamoco" and "Sanga", which is a source of pride and joy. Moreover, it was possible to see their strong feelings leading to ethnic pride and sense of self-determination.
