雅美族是台灣原住民中典型的島居民族，他們精於工藝技術，尤其在建造地下屋、雕造拼板舟、捏製陶器、以及開闢水田等方面，具有極高技術的表現，其中又以雕造拼板舟工藝技術最為精湛。

2004年紅頭部落以突破傳統造舟模式，透過社區發展協會召集社區男性舉辦建造十人大船的活動，造舟過程可分為：取船首尾龍骨、取大船底部龍骨、龍骨拼接、取船身板、船身拼接、製做船艙附件、繪製紋飾與雕刻、大船下水祭等八個步驟完成，船主的職位則在造舟完工後，由部落耆老自願者擔任。

2004年紅頭部落造舟使用的造舟植物共13種，其中可以確定的有8科11種（欖仁、大花樫木、麵包樹、白榕、小葉桑、欖仁舅、長果月橘、番龍眼、大葉山欖、蘭嶼烏心石、澀葉榕）及兩種外來植物，造舟植物來源以家族林地中所經營的林木為主，公有林場佔領林木次之，及少數外來植物。該大船共由21塊板材所建造，船長8.46公尺，船寬1.55公尺，建造時間長達三個月，共耗費40個工作天，動用人數33人，平均每日工作人數為15人，年紀最長者為85歲，最年輕者30歲。

由於傳統社會結構的改變，以及人口的外流，造成各家族男丁薄弱，傳統漁團逐漸沒落，造舟傳統生態知識的建構與傳遞產生斷層的現象，導致紅頭部落已無家族可組織造舟漁團，因此失去傳統生態知識的傳遞與繼承機制，2004年紅頭部落再次建造具雕刻紋飾的10人大船已相隔28年，造舟傳統生態知識的傳遞與建構透過該次造舟活動，由傳統的家族親屬的傳承擴及為部落內的傳遞形式，而造舟的傳統生態知識的獲得，仍可藉由共同勞動的造舟過程，得以繼承與傳遞。

Yami Tribe is the indigenous of Taiwan who lives on the island of Lanyu. They are skilled in the handmade technology, especially in constructing the underground room, kneading pottery, opening up the areas of taros field and making the carving boat which was called "dadala"and "cinedkeran" in Yami language.

In 2004 , the Hung-tou village changed their traditional boat-made way , and called all men unit together to hold an activity by the Hung-tou Community Development Association''s help , they build a "cinedkeran" which could accommodate 10 persons. There were eight process in constructing this boat including taking the keel of prow and poop , taking the keel of the part on the big ship''s bilge , piecing the keels , taking the planks of the hull , piecing the planks of the hull , making the attachments of the cabin , painting and carvings , and holding the launching. The captain who was a tribe old man in volunteer chosen after the boat had been finished.

13 kinds of plants where used in making the boat in which 11 species belonging to 8 families were recorded. They are：Terminalia catappa, Michelia compressa, Dysoxylum leytense, Artocarpus incises, Ficus benjamina, Ficus irisana, Morus australis, Neonauclea reticulate, Murraya paniculata omphalocarpa, Pometia pinnata, Palaquium formosanum, and the other two were the exotic plants.The major sources of plant materials came from their family''s timberlands and public timberlands. The boat measured 8.46m×1.55m was made of 21 chunks of wood. There were 33 people joining this work, they spent 40 workdays finishing it and invested 3 months. An average of 15 workers were working each day , the oldest who was 85 years old and the youngest one was 30 years old .

Owing to the shortage of man in each family, the traditional boat-made and fishing group has begun to wane. The traditional knowledge and technology of making the boat had loss inheritance. As a result , there is no family who could organize a boat-made and fishing group. It has been 28 years since they did cinedkeran last time. From the boat-made activity this time, the traditional knowledge and technology of boat-made could be pass down. And this become a special way to inherit their culture in the tribe.
