敬自由/ Lowbing Miyu
「這是祖靈給我的任務」
19歲的 Lowbing Miyu
來自 #賽德克族都達群 (Sediq Toda)
是家族第十代巫醫傳人
.
他在14歲時意外發現
巫醫常用的法器「Daran」(竹占) 能夠黏在自己手上
確定了祖靈給他的使命與任務
此後便跟同為巫醫的祖母學習傳統祭儀
成為部落最年輕的巫醫
.
外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中
Lowbing Miyu 談到了原住民自由延續祭儀文化
.
『身為家族第10代巫醫傳人
我感受到祖靈給我的使命
未來也會持續貫徹祖靈的任務與延續祭儀文化』
.
若聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利
台灣的夥伴價值值得聯合國重視。
.
在此感謝：
Lowbing Miyu

To Freedom / Lowbing Miyu
Nineteen-year-old Lowbing Miyu, from the Sediq Toda indigenous community in Hualien’s Dgarung village, is a tenth generation Msabuh or shaman. When he was fourteen, he discovered that the Msabuh’s Daran (bamboo divination sticks) kept sticking to his hand, indicating his vocation. He then studied under his grandmother--also a Msabuh--becoming the youngest Msabuh in his community.
Lowbing features in MOFA’s recent promotional short for the United Nations General Assembly, in which he talks of his freedom to pursue the vocation of his ancestors:
“As a tenth generation shaman in my community, I feel the spirits of my ancestors gave me my vocation. I will continue to study to continue this culture of rites.”
If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.
