This is the first attempt in Taiwan with mere Tayal language in presentation and more importantly all the actors are Tayal people. By incorporating themes like migration, hunting, weaving, dreams and the communal memories, the film conveys the traditional ecological knowledge of Tayal. For this film, the local Tayal dwellers are actively involved in the construction of the scene buildings that are expected to turn into their local museum in the future. Moreover, they were trained to act in the film to play their ancestors. ln this way, this film exemplifies an empowering dimension for the modern local Tayal people through revitalizing their traditional ecological knowledge and collective memories.
