The Miaoli County Aboriginal Tribal University Knowledge Watershed Exhibition "Searching for Water and Guiding the Way" will be grandly opened tomorrow (24th) at the Atayal Cultural Heritage Museum. The first phase of the exhibition is specially themed "Origin - the Art of Life of Native Women". Based on the daily experiences of native women such as eating, weaving, collection and care, it will present tribal traditional knowledge and life wisdom. The exhibition will last until December 31, and the public is invited to attend the exhibition.
The Miaoli County Government stated that the exhibition was a cross-agency collaboration between the county government and the Sheipa National Park Management Office of the National Park Service of the Ministry of Interior, using "searching for water" as a curatorial metaphor. Among tribes, seeking water is the ability to read the land. The tribesmen follow the traces of the environment to find water sources and bring water into their lives. Knowledge also does not only exist in books, but is more deeply rooted in the land, mountains, forests, language, and the bodies and life memories of the tribesmen.
