憲法增修條文第10條第11項：「國家肯定多元文化，並積極維護發展原住民族語言文化。」第12項：「國家應依民族意願，保障原住民族之地位及政治參與，並對其教育文化、交通水利、衛生醫療、經濟土地及社會福利事業予以保障扶助並促其發展，其辦法另以法律定之。」學說上稱之為『原住民族保障條款』，更是原住民族基本法法源的依據，立法意旨已指示原住民族基本的權利應以法律保障為必要性。從2005年2月5日原住民族基本法公布實施後，原住民族權利意識的覺醒及普世人權價值受高度重視，促使原住民族的各種保障機制紛紛落實，權利發展不斷『轉型』，甚至有大幅成長趨勢。而原住民族基本法第34條規定：「主管機關應於本法施行後三年內，依本法之原則修正、制定或廢止相關法令」，只要是跟原住民相關的法律有衝突，理當依原住民族基本法的精神來進行相關法令的修正跟制定，避免行政和立法機關的怠惰。概而言之，憲法增修條文「…以法律定之」是確立憲法直接授權委託立法者，賦予原住民族基本法相較於其他涉及到原住民族的相關法位階看起來好像更高。但事實上原住民族基本法施行到現在，已經很多年了，但是涉及到與原住民族基本法相互衝突的法律或是法規命令，其所衍生的法律爭議問題，未進行整合。基此，本文探討原住民族基本法的作用問題？性質及其效力如何？均是值得探究之問題。
於此等論述的釐清，進一步推導出原住民族基本法與一般法律的競合衝突優先適用的問題導向。所以，本文認為，國家應基於憲法規範內涵保障義務的要求，國家根據憲法客觀價值判斷落實原住民族基本權利，以避免國家產生基於差異及歧視所產生的不平等措施，亦應更積極強化原住民族基本法的實踐。

Article 10, paragraph 11, of the constitutional amendment： """"The State recognizes multiculturalism and actively upholds the development of aboriginal languages and cultures."""" Item 12： """"The State shall, in accordance with the will of the nation, safeguard the status and political participation of the First Nations and guarantee and promote their educational culture, transportation and water conservancy, health care, economic land and social welfare undertakings, in accordance with the law."""" The doctrine is called the """"First Nations Protection Clause"""" and is the basis of the basic law source of the First Nations, and the legislative intent has instructed the basic rights of the First Nations to be guaranteed by law as a necessity, and since the promulgation and implementation of the Basic Law of the First Nations on February 5, 2005, the awakening of the awareness of the rights of the First Nations and the universal value of human rights have been highly valued, prompting the implementation of various safeguard mechanisms of the First Nations, the development of rights has been """"transformed"""" and even a significant growth trend. The competent authorities shall, within three years after the implementation of this Law, amend, formulate or repeal the relevant decrees in accordance with the principles of this Law, provided that there is a conflict with the laws relating to the First Nations, and shall, in accordance with the spirit of the Basic Law of the First Nations, amend and formulate the relevant laws and regulations, so as to avoid the idleness of the executive and legislative bodies. In summary, the constitutional amendment """"... By law is to establish the Constitution directly authorized to entrust legislators, to give the Basic Law of the First Nations compared to other related legal levels involving the First Nations seems to be higher, but in fact, the Basic Law of the First Nations has been in force for many years now, but when it comes to laws or regulations that conflict with the Basic Law of the First Nations, the issue of legal disputes arising from it has not been integrated, based on this article, this paper discusses the role of the Basic Law of the First Nations？ What is the nature and effectiveness of it？ are questions worth exploring. The clarity of these discussions further derives the priority application of the conflict between the Basic Law of the First Nations and the general law. Therefore, this paper holds that the state should implement the basic rights of the first nations according to the objective value of the constitution, so as to avoid unequal measures based on differences and discrimination, and should strengthen the practice of the Basic Law of the first nations more actively.
