本文採借「找路」的意象，以新北市烏來地區及花蓮縣秀林鄉水源部落為觀察場域，探討當代泰雅族和太魯閣族編織尋根社群如何在傳統與當代之間來回復返，進行既傳統又創新的勞動生產與知識實踐。織女們在日常的抵抗中，站在原住民女性立場，於既有之社會關係網絡中，形塑溫柔、堅定且具韌性的女力，展現關係性自由。在變動的歷史過程，以及原住民女性多元、異質的經驗脈絡中，烏來與水源兩個地區之編織尋根社群，因著大環境類似的殖民經驗以及地方性社會變遷的差異，運用其特殊的女性知識，呈顯「嫁接再現」與「根莖繁衍」異中有同的抵抗路徑，展現解殖民女力與賦權。

Abstract ｜
This study adopts the image of “finding a way” towards cultural recovery. It calls on the indigenous Wulai area of New Taipei City and the Shuiyuan tribe in Xiulin Township, Hualien County as the observation sites to explore how contemporary Tayal and Truku groups seek recovery of their weaving roots and innovation in a dialogue back and forth between tradition and contemporary times in labor production and knowledge practices. In their daily life of resistance, the weavers stand for the position of indigenous women while they build a gentle, firm and resilient female power within the existing social network. In the changing historical process and the diverse and heterogeneous context of indigenous women, the communities in Wulai and Shuiyuan areas use their special female knowledge to present the root-seeking stories which derive from similar colonial experiences in the general environment and differences in local social changes. This analysis shows the differences and similarities between the resistance paths of “grafting reproduction” and “rhizome reproduction”, demonstrating decolonializing female power and empowerment.
