Paiwan sculptor Sakuliu Pavavalung, who in recent years has energetically promoted a revival of indigenous culture, calls even more urgently for traditional indigenous names. The truth is, behind names lie many ancestral legends, and wisdom about living in harmony with nature. Someone who throws away his name throws away his culture, and does not deserve to be called an indigenous person.
近年來積極推動原住民文化復興的排灣族雕刻家撒古流更是沈重地呼籲，原住民的傳統命名，背後其實包含許多祖先的傳說和與自然相處的智慧，丟掉名字，等於丟掉自己的文化，就不配成為原住民了。
