原住民族在國際法上作為一個應「特別受關注者」的地位，逐漸被承認。其中包括對原住民族管理遺傳資源之技藝及社會組織，以及因此而形成之多樣性價值的重視，甚至延伸到與人類文明永續等環境議題的辯論。但是在台灣並未見到平行的發展。本文試圖藉由線性歷史，揭露台灣在原住民人權－特別是財產權－上長期實踐的暴力本質，並透過對包括國際與國內財產規範在內之市民財產權制度的再檢視，對如何在市民社會中建立合理的原住民財產權保障體系，提出建議。最後，並以該建議為基準比較，檢討三個部落財產權規範之有效性。

The recognition of indigenous people as an unique subject of international law has gradually evolved worldwide as a major current, which includes the idea to rebuild an infrastructure so to adequately manage their genetic resources and consequently the polities to redistribute the derived benefits. These aspects, inter alia, even extend to the prominent issues such as sustainable development. However, we can see no sheer parallel development in Taiwan. This article is therefore trying to disclose the violent nature of the colonial powers which introduced with force the civil law property ideas as a major facility to deprive the land property from indigenous tribes of Taiwan for the past decades, and with the analytical comparison of international and domestic regulatory structures, so to suggest an adequate indigenous property system for Taiwan, and to conclude with a re-examination of the three draft tribal covenants or constitutions mirroring the above suggestions.
