「自決」或「自治」，是國際原住民族運動中最重要的訴求，台灣原住民族自1984年起的原住民族運動，亦以原住民族自治為終極之目標，然而，美洲或澳洲原住民族有判例或條約支持其自治，台灣原住民族追求以自決或自治的基礎何在？因此，本文之研究目的，擬透過歷史上原住民族與優勢族群統治者間的關係，了解台灣原住民族運動的緣起，並觀察國際法上對原住民族自決訴求之討論及政治哲學思潮由自由主義轉變為多元文化主義之省思等面向，運用解釋之方法探求我國憲法文本之真意，嘗試尋譯出原住民族自治之憲法基礎。
本文之研究方法，主要採用文獻分析法，藉由人類學及民族學等相關文獻，了解台灣原住民族在各個異族統治時期中之處境，及台灣原住民族運動之進展及訴求，其次，運用法學方法，參考國際法上對原住民族自決訴求之討論，及傳統自由主義演變發展出之多元文化主義，輔以解釋憲法中之原住民族相關條款。
本文之研究內容，先回首台灣原住民族之歷史地位，整理台灣原住民對其政治上、社會上、經濟上、文化上之不公平處境，在原住民族運動中提出自治之訴求；其次，參考國際法上關於原住民族權利保障之探討，及政治哲學界對傳統自由主義的省思而發展出多元文化主義之諸多理論；最後，以解釋憲法之方式，討論地方自治之法理是否為原住民族自治之理論基礎？及憲法中與原住民族相關之條款又應如何詮釋？等問題；最後，就現行各個版本的「原住民族自治」提出初步檢討和建議。
本文的參考文獻，主要為中文及英文資料，中文部分，援引人類學及民族學之相關文獻，了解台灣原住民族之歷史處境及台灣原住民族運動之進展，並參考法律學門對憲法中原住民族條款之解釋及討論，英文部分，則整理國際法上與原住民族自治相關之國際規約，及政治哲學學者就原住民族權利保障之相關探討。
