Since Bakan has memories, weaving is an inseparable part of the life of the Sediq tribe. She personally planted and harvested ramie. She peeled the barks and twisted them into lines, and then wound them around the weaving tool. At the age of 19, she focused on her own dowry and made a preparation for it.

"These woven fabrics will never be sold, which I want to give to my daughter as a family heirloom," the lady, who is now 84 years old said firmly. The woven fabrics in her hand are more than 60 years old, which also show the belief of the Sediq women in their cultural identity.

山裡的傳家寶

自Bakan有記憶以來，織布就是賽德克部落生活中密不可分的一部分，親自種下苧麻、採收成線、再繞上織布機理經，當年19歲的她，是專注的為自己嫁妝做準備。「這些布是絕對不會賣的，我要留給女兒傳家寶！」如今84歲的她，依然堅定的說著，而手中的織布超過一甲子的時光，更是顯現出賽德克族女性對自身文化認同的信念。
