The main purpose of this study is to inquire the change of Japanese educational strategies on the indigenous people in Taiwan during 1895-1945. The educational strategy plays the key role in the extension of the Japanese colonial enterprise. To exploit the resources in the mountain area in Taiwan, Japanese colonial governor had to apply a carrot-and-stick approach to control the indigenous people. It was a necessary combination of politics and education in developing the colonial enterprise. The indigenous governmental strategy was focused on containment policy at the initial stage, and the curriculum of primary educational institution was required just on an easy level with a goal of changing the indigenous traditional living habitudes to adopt new ones. During the middle colonial period when the strategy of suppressing indigenous people was rather successful, adopting Japanese language and agriculture then became the main subject matters. The instruction of the language was for the indigenous people to understand and follow the authoritative orders, while the one of agriculture was to train them to become farmers so that they would not move to other places. Finally, at the nationalization stage, initiating-war-mobilization-strategies were applied to nationalize the indigenous people as Japanese subjects so that they would voluntarily sacrifice for the war initiated by Japan.
