[ 摘要 ]

工藝對原住民來說，在過去是生活化的、實用的，例如藤編用於魚簍、織布與植物染用於服飾等，實際連結了部落生活與社會文化。阿美族傳統所使用之工藝植物大多數本身也同時具備民族植物的重要身份，而民族植物的調查研究有助於對本土植物使用方式的瞭解、保存文化多樣性與生物多樣性，故工藝植物可探討的部份除了知識與技藝的傳承外，還具有生態觀、環境觀與文化觀，不僅可運用於社區營造與社區學習，還可運用於學校教育、環境教育等。

過去的研究大都是以具經濟性或醫藥性為主的民族植物之調查，鮮少從工藝植物之角度來研究探討，本研究即以原住民阿美族的染料用工藝植物為探討的主要對象，並且以太巴塱為主要研究場域。本文試著從兩方面切入分析，其一是探討工藝製作的根本，亦即工藝植物之相關知識與利用方式（如食物、器具、裝飾、醫藥、祭祀與其它等用途）；其二是探討過去社造經驗中工藝文化復振的努力過程。兩方面的探討有助於探索出工藝植物與原住民文化的關連方式，並歸結出工藝沒落的原因所在，以及尋找出其振興的可行做法。並依目前部落中傳統工藝發展的狀況以及居民對於傳統手工藝將來的發展之想法來探討傳統工藝振興所遇到的困境與可能解決的方法。
