今天是 #原住民族 日。
今年３月太平洋友邦 #帛琉 總統惠恕仁訪台時，小英總統贈送 #排灣族 用來分享食物及建立感情的 #分享刀 (Siqunu)，不僅象徵台灣與帛琉之間的感情，也讓大家瞭解台灣 #原住民族 的精緻藝品，不僅源自土地，更能登上外交舞台作為 #國家級禮品。
但是 #原住民族 這四個字一路走來，充滿許多前人的努力與付出，1994年8月1日終於將過去漢人視角的用語正名為 #原住民族 並正式納入憲法增修條文。
27年後的今天，多個文獻研究證實 #台灣原住民為南島語族起源，一部分原住民離開台灣前往世界各地 (海洋奇緣 4 ni)，也將文化傳播出去；而在台灣各原住民族文化與特色雖然不同，但共通點是正名運動象徵多元文化與族群平等得來不易，原住民族日更是全民共享的 #國家紀念日。
Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay in #Taiwan. We are proud of the ancestral ties to #Austronesian peoples spread across the vast #Pacific and Indian Oceans and the long history of this #OceanOfIslands.
When travelling overseas or receiving foreign dignitaries, especially brothers and sisters from the Pacific, we often honor these ties with a gift representing the culture and heritage of the indigenous peoples of this island. This knife from the #Paiwan indigenous community is one such gift and was bestowed upon #Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. as a symbol of sharing and the forging of mutual bonds.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day was introduced in 2016 as part of efforts to recognize the ongoing path to transitional justice, marking the date of a constitutional amendment in 1994 which incorporated a respectful term for Taiwan's indigenous peoples to replace the original discriminatory language.
