摘要

本文探究臺灣「原住民」認同的社會成因，由校園這個官方與日常重合的生活結構，以四十位原住民高中生為研究對象，以深度訪談與小組訪談，理解官方塑造的環境、以及同類角色之間，如何影響原住民學生的主觀認同。研究發現，原住民同學雖來自不同的部落與母族，經由與外在環境的互動，影響其對自身的認同，不但建立與其他原住民之間的關聯，並劃分原住民與非原住民的區別，對當代臺灣原住民族集體認同現象，提出社會學的觀察見解。

This study discusses the formation of indigenous identity by combining the theoretical perspective of social construction and identity theory. Based on this premise, campus life, which is constituted officially and ethnographically, was utilized as the research area to study how indigenous identity is shaped and reshaped. By conducting semi-structured and focus group interviews with forty senior high school students, this research analyses how students make sense of 'Indigenous people' presented by textbooks and peers. This study concluded that indigenous students sense the association between themselves and other indigenous people. Given the same reason, they also understand the difference, as well as the distinction, between aborigines and non-aborigines. These research findings indicate that the external environment possibly influences indigenous people to self-identify themselves as 'Indigenous people', highlighting the social factors in shaping the 'Indigenous' identity in modern day Taiwan.
