民國87年原住民族教育法的制定可以說是台灣原住民運動的一個重要里程碑,因為就長久以來的族群關係而言,從這一刻起,過去原住民族在台灣族群關係中的從屬地位,開始獲得了其作為主體性的肯認,原住民族文化不再在教育領域中缺席,原住民教育也不再全面性的以同化於主流文化為依歸。然就另一層意義而言,在這種第三世界國家、民族的去殖民復興運動中,原住民族教育法的制定是否真能在台灣的後殖民情境中,獲得其主體性的實質,從而實現所謂的台灣原住民族教育或改善過去為人所詬病的原住民學生學業成就偏低、文化流失、族群認同異化等問題?本文將從後殖民理論的觀點對原住民族教育法做一分析,首先對原住民運動作一回顧,其次對後殖民理論做文獻閱讀整理,最後再對原住民教育法做後殖民觀點的分析,以提供關注台灣原住民教育者不同層面的思考。
The law of indigenous education was made in 1998, which was an important year in Taiwan indigenous movement. On the one hand, between the ethics relation in Taiwan, since the indigenous peoples obtained their subjective recognition that they haven’t in the past ethics relation in Taiwan.
