Aboriginal peoples have lived in the mountains from time immemorial, treating nature with a combination of respect and fear, living in balance with nature. Songs and rituals bear out how man and nature benefited each other. Today, these ideas are seen as a positive force for environmental protection.
原住民長期定居山林，敬畏土地、尊重自然，與萬物形成平衡，歌謠、祭典中顯示出與萬物互惠的觀點，如今已被視為生態保育的助力、也是最好的鄉土教材。
