The mitrator of the Ami Culture Youth Summer Camp, Tien Chun-chih, who is also president of the Taipei Aborigine Community Development Association, believes that too many children of aborigines in the city not only can't speak their ancestral language or dance their ancestral dances but also know nothing about their ancestral culture, and some even feel ashamed of being aborigines.
阿美族青少年文化研習營的發起人，也是台北市山胞社會發展協會理事長田春枝表示，太多都市山胞的下一代不僅不會說山地話、跳山地舞，也完全不知道山地文化，有的甚至還以身為山胞為恥。
