西拉雅是台灣的原住民族,距今約500年至6000年前(若依基因學則可能更久),在殖民政權尚未來到之時,其蹤跡已遍布整個大台南平原。原來的悠然歲月,在十七世記掀起了台灣殖民史上的首頁。西拉雅族首當其衝歷經了荷、鄭、清國、日本等政權的殖民統治至今,逐漸失落原有的傳統文化、部落領域、語言文字。甚至,失去了取回原住民身份的權利。西拉雅族人十幾年來全力推動語言、文化的復振工作,尋根探索。同時也從事各種形式的正名運動,試圖找回本該屬於西拉雅的身份認定。無奈連年遭遇當局政府的阻擋,藉口許多理由,認為他們不夠資格當作真正的原住民。然而,政府這樣的行為看來只是延續殖民者帶來的歷史不義,是一種二度傷害跟壓迫,也與國際潮流背道而馳。西拉雅在台灣歷史中是不可抹滅的珍貴身影,它或許曾經被遺忘,但它從未消失過。希望,大家能夠一同見證,西拉雅族重新在這片土地上豁然跳躍,並為他們努力奮鬥爭取法定原住民身份一同發聲!
The Siraya people of Taiwan are one of the oldest people residing in Taiwan. Dutch records as early as the 1600s describe their contact with the tribe who resided in the plains. The name Taiwan even comes from the Siraya language. However, the national government refuses to recognize the tribe denying the people indigenous rights to land and autonomy listed under the UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. By signing this petition, you show your support for the Siraya people and our mission to be recognized by Taiwan as an indigenous people.
