Abstract
In the mountainous eastern part of Taiwan, there is a Bunun indigenous settlement called Wulu Village. The Bunun are known especially for their non-typical music. As any traditional communities, the Wulu must face the pressure of the modern society. They decide to protect their culture. In schools, they teach their original language, dance and singing. Bunun have also established a choir, which practices singing during members' free time and performs in public at the invitations of various organizations around the world. Fearing that indigenous cultures will eventually be lost, director Chun-hsiung Wang came to Wulu, trying to find answers to his many questions by interviewing local people. Over the course of filming these interviews, the director found his beliefs changllenged and his heart moved.
