摘要

本文主旨探討基督宗教與殖民主義的關係，以及其對原住民族的影響。分為三大部分。第一部分以後殖民主義觀點探討基督宗教在傳教過程可能對原住民族造成的傷害與破壞。第二部分探討原住民族世界觀與知識可能帶來的解放，包括非人類中心的世界觀、所有受造物都是相關聯的、人屬於土地而非土地的支配者。第三部分擷取台灣原住民族思想傳統中的「相互性」、「平衡」、「相互關聯性」作為解構殖民主義的思想資源。本文結論指出，原住民族雖在基督教宣教過程中遭受莫大的傷害，但從原住民族的知識與文化傳統建構解放性的基督教神學仍是有可能的。

The purpose of this essay is to explore the relationship between Christian religion and colonialism, as well as missionary influences on Indigenous peoples. The article is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the harm and destruction that Christian religions may cause to the Indigenous peoples in the missionary process from postcolonial perspectives. The second part explores the possible emancipation drawing from Indigenous Peoples' worldviews and knowledge; including the non-anthropocentric worldview, the notion that all creations are related, and the conviction that human beings belong to the Land. The third part captures ＂reciprocity,＂ ＂balance,＂ and ＂interrelatedness＂ in the tradition of Taiwan's Indigenous Peoples' ideology as ideological resources for decolonization. The conclusion of this paper points out that although Indigenous peoples suffered great harm in the Christian missionary process, it is still possible to build emancipatory Christian theologies from Indigenous knowledge and cultural traditions.
