In the ten years since passage of the 1995 amendments to the Name Act, less than 1,000 out of a total population of some 460,000 Aborigines have chosen to restore their native names--a rarer species than the black-faced spoonbill that wings its way to Taiwan each year to winter over.
1995 年原住民「姓名條例修正案」通過，十年多來，總人口數達 46 萬的原住民，不到一千人恢復原名，堪稱比每年翩翩飛來渡冬的黑面琵鷺還珍希。
