本論文以已發行的原住民創作歌謠之影音資料為研究對象，並將研究範圍設限在阿美族、卑南族、鄒族三個族群。筆者自2005年至2007年間透過網路、唱片行及陳列原住民系列商品的店家等，蒐集到與原住民創作歌謠相關之影音資料達271件，其中阿美族專輯42件，卑南族18件，鄒族11件，除了阿美、卑南、鄒族之外的族群有61件，原住民綜合語言類之專輯有139件。筆者按族群從東部順時針繞到西部，分成阿美族、卑南族、鄒族三個族群作研究。

第一章探討臺灣原住民創作歌謠之發展背景，查閱文字資料（包含期刊、專書、論文等）、影音資料、網路資源等，敘述原住民創作歌謠之發展情形。第二章至第四章主要從緣起與發展、代表性作者及作品、詞曲分析三個面向，分別探討阿美族、卑南族、鄒族創作歌謠之現況。第五章則將三個族群之代表性歌謠作彙整，並作進一步的比較探討。

本論文透過資料蒐集、文獻探討及實地調查，以分析、歸納、比較、研究等方法完成，期盼透過筆者的各項蒐集、整理及分析，讓大眾更了解原住民創作歌謠之現況，並給予現在及未來的原住民歌謠創作者一些鼓勵與參考。

The research topic of this thesis is the published creative songs by indigenous people of Taiwan, focusing on the three tribes of the Amis, the Puyuma, and the Tsou. The author has collected 271 media documents of aboriginal/indigenous creative songs via the internet, CD shops and shops exhibiting aboriginal products during the researching period from 2005 to 2007, within which include 42 albums of the Amis, 18 of the Puyuma, 11 of the Tsou, 61 of the tribes other than the three mentioned, and 139 of mixed indigenous groups. The collected data is grouped geographically from east to west of Taiwan, by tribes of the Amis, the Puyuma and the Tsou.

Chapter 1 discusses the developmental background of indigenous creative songs in Taiwan by surveying word documents including periodicals, books and theses/essays, media documents, and internet resources that describe the development of indigenous creative songs. Chapters 2 to 4 analyze the current status of the creative songs among the Amis, the Puyuma and the Tsou through the inspection of the beginning and development of the creative songs, the significant song writers and works along with tune and music analysis. Chapter 5 lists the significant works of the three tribes with further comparison and discussion.

This thesis, through data collection, document analysis and fieldwork, is completed by methods of analysis, induction, comparison and research. It is the author’s hope that through the various data collection, sorting and analysis, the thesis will give the public a clearer picture of the current condition of the indigenous creative songs, as well as serving as an encouragement and reference to the indigenous song writers present and future.
