這篇文章聚焦於原住民族社會工作理論的思考,以文化照顧相關論述如文化能力、文化安全、文化轉譯、文化主權和歷史創傷為討論起點,將這些論及跨文化照顧的精神、內涵與社會工作生態觀點論述交互參照並對話。社會工作專業介入跨族群工作並試圖解決問題的過程,多著眼於人與人之間的關係理解和認識,或著重氣候變遷下的環境創傷。這篇文章則在此基礎之上,進一步關注原住民族世界觀中,與自然、物種、非人之間的關係網絡。希冀透過探究人與非人間跨物種的關懷和協作,達成生態體系內物種共生的照顧哲學。並以民族植物小米為例證,細究當今原住民族社會工作實務現場,以小米此一非人物種作為關係與照顧體系中重要的環節,透過非人的物種,重建人與人之間的關係修復和連結,以建立具備原住民族觀點的生態系統論述,不僅深化生態觀點論述,同時發展跨物種共生照顧之議題。
The article is concerned the development of Indigenous Social Work theory related to Cultural Care in Taiwan. Based on discourses on the starting point, such as cultural competence, cultural safety, cultural translation, cultural sovereignty and historical trauma, this abstract aims at creating a dialogue with an ecological approach and social work perspective while dealing with problem solving. Currently, social workers seeking an understanding of persons' situations are focusing on the relationship between human and human, or with an interest in environmental trauma affected by climate change. This paper is rises above these concerns to explore the relationship network between human and non-human via an indigenous worldview, and also aims to achieve a coexistence ecological system approach to cross-species care and co-work. The practical field example is millet as a non-human species to create a relational recovery and connection from the indigenous point of view of ecological perspective discourse. The purposes of the theoretical thinking are to enhance the indigenous cultural logic and life value in the process of social work practice, as well as to explore cross-species care by rethinking ecological perspectives.
