Mialaw (divination using bamboo) Lukar Maku, the leading chieftain of the Amis people of Makutaai, has conflicting feelings about the religious faith of the village today and traditional Amis beliefs: "Although I now follow another God, I still secretly do mialaw. Yes, I'm worried that the church is against it. But who else can my people ask when they have questions about hunting or about life?"
身為阿美族港口部落大頭目的阿公，對於現在部落中的宗教信仰與阿美族的傳統信仰，有著掙扎的想法：雖然現在我已經追隨另一個神了，但是還是會偷偷做 Mialaw，雖然擔心教會反對，但族人有關於打獵或生活上的問題想問時又可以問誰呢？
