| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣體育大學(桃園) === 體育研究所 === 96 === Ethnic identity has become a popular issue since the Martial Law lifted in Taiwan in 1987. Under control of Han people, the fact that indigenous people’s culture has been lost and caused the problem of ethnic identity has resulted in Taiwan aboriginalism. Aboriginal People Sports Meeting in Taiwan has taken place for ten years since 1994 in Pingtung. This study aims to understand the relation between indigenous people and its ethnic identity, the development progress and its impact of Aboriginal People Sports Meeting in Taiwan, and the correlation between the game and ethnic identity against this background. It applied a research method in historical sociology to investigate these issues above with the analysis of historical issues and relevant literatures. From the origin, content, and related rules of the game, we found there is a close relation between the change process and ethnic identity of Taiwan indigenous people. Han government has most of control of sports events, ritual, and money, etc. As ethnic consciousness awakening, traditional sports culture of indigenous people can reappear and ethnic identity can be rebuilt through this game. From Aboriginal People Sports Meeting in Taiwan, we can also find that the game contains ideology Han government wants to deliver, the acceptance of Han’s values, and self-identity of indigenous people. The purpose of ten-year-old aboriginal People Sports Meeting in Taiwan has shifted from following the values of Han people to pass down their cultures. The game has become the place to strengthen self-identity and also a historical prove of Taiwan indigenous people seeking its self-identity.
