Building upon the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica's extensive and long-standing research on Taiwan's indigenous peoples, this project aims to systematically digitize, consolidate, and integrate various research findings, data, and collections. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the development of knowledge systems and promote education and culture for Taiwan's indigenous communities.

In the first year of the project (2021), the "Bibliographic Database of Indigenous Studies" was established, digitizing selected monographs on indigenous peoples and initiating a foundational digital inventory of the Institute’s indigenous research collections. By 2022, the "Indigenous Research Area," including a research map, was created within the Open Museum at the Digital Culture Center of Academia Sinica. GIS technology was employed to integrate and link texts, objects, and images from the Institute’s indigenous research collections.

In 2023, the beta version of the "Digital Reading" platform was launched. This platform leverages information technology to connect the Institute's bibliographic resources, website content, and digital archives, facilitating the circulation of digital objects. In 2024, the "Digital Learning" platform was introduced in collaboration with Indigenous Experimental Education Schools to co-develop "Digital Learning" lesson plans. Utilizing digital technology, this initiative aims to transcend the boundaries between physical and virtual spaces, fostering knowledge transmission and innovation.

In 2025, the project will release the "Digital Exhibition" platform in collaboration with indigenous communities. Building on prior fieldwork, this platform will integrate visual documentation and extended interviews to provide space for broader community engagement and influence. It seeks to empower indigenous communities to create knowledge production platforms and participate in constructing, expanding, and reinterpreting data. Through this participatory process, indigenous communities can preserve their cultural narratives and establish dynamic platforms for cultural knowledge.
