美國在台協會很榮幸與2020台灣國際民族誌影展合作，在台東大學舉行美國紀錄片「部落正義」放映會。在映後座談上，AIT文化官馬明遠與觀眾就片中，兩個美國加州的原住民部落如何克服面臨的挑戰，進行深度的討論，並分享他對於台灣與美國原住民的社群差異性的觀察。這部獲獎無數的紀錄片，提出了一種正面積極的司法模式 - 以社群的價值倡議為出發點，秉持「人本」重於「律法」的信念創立一種部落法庭的新制度，進而實現修復式正義。馬明遠文化官也利用此次出訪，拜會了台東縣政府文化局、台東美術館、南島文化中心、東糖文創園區、鐵花村、阿尼色弗兒童之家、均一國際教育實驗高中以及公益平台基金會台東辦公室等地，親身體驗台東豐沛的在地文化能量。

In partnership with the 2020 Taiwan Int’l Ethnographic Film Touring Festival, AIT was honored to feature the American documentary film “Tribal Justice” at Taitung University. After the film, AIT Cultural Affairs Officer Luke Martin joined the audience in a discussion about the film and overcoming challenges in two of California’s native American tribes, and offered thoughts on the differences facing indigenous communities in the United States and Taiwan. This award-winning documentary presented a positive model of using community-based advocacy to create restorative justice – putting “people” first before considering the “law” in their tribal courts. CAO Martin also had the opportunity to experience Taitung’s rich culture by visiting the Cultural Affairs Bureau, the Taitung Fine Arts Museum, the Austronesian Cultural Center, the Sintung Sugar Factory Culture Park, Tiehua Music Village, KidsAlive International, and the Junyi School of Innovation and Alliance Cultural Foundation.
It is said that Taitung is Taiwan’s Hawaii. What’s your favorite place in Taitung? Leave your recommendation for us to visit next time!
