在你作為原住民的成長過程中語言，舞蹈、文化的角色是什麼？
How much of a role did language, dance and culture playfor you growing up as an Indigenous person in Taiwan?
在排灣族的部落成長，Aulu自小就沈浸在排灣的傳統文化裡
在這種環境中成長意味著[語言，舞蹈和文化]在我的腦海中深化，在我的血液裡堆積。我並沒有刻意尋找自己的原住民化，因為它就遍佈在我的四周，並且自然地影響了我。
Growing up in a Paiwan tribe, traditional culture was allaround Aulu.
Being raised in this kind of environment meant [language,dance and culture] condensed in my mind, accumulating in my blood. I didn’tseek out my Indigenous culture, it was all around me and influenced menaturally.
您能談談這如何影響您的藝術實踐和職涯嗎？
Can you talk a little about how this has influenced yourartistic practice and career?

不同於信仰基督宗教的其他台灣原住民，Aulu的家庭延續了排灣族的傳統宗教
Unlike other Taiwanese Indigenous peoples who havestarted to follow religions such as 
Christianity, Aulu’s family continue tobelieve and adhere to their traditional religion.
我的家人延續的傳統的生活方式在家裡說族語。這對我來說是非常特別的，我的家庭不僅相信排灣族的傳統宗教以及生活方式，家人們依然堅持排灣的習俗與信念。
My family follow the old ways and speak their traditionaltribe language in the home. This is special to me, as it means I come from afamily who not only believe in their traditional religion and way of life intheir tribe, they still hold onto their customs and beliefs.
文化和語言是一種生活方式。我們在家說我們的語言。我的祖父會帶我去山上，教我如何打獵。我的祖母教我如何在春季或山區的取水方式。我還被教導如何以傳統方式進行耕種，並且我們的一生必須尊重自然。
Growing up, culture and language was a way of life; wespoke our language at home. My grandfather would take me to the mountains andteach me how to hunt. My grandmother taught me how to get water from the springor in the mountain. I was also taught how to do farming in a traditional wayand that for life we must respect mother natu
