莫拉克風災部落找尋「共同回家」的路，面對生計產業與社群生活重建工作，以期維繫既有的土地情感、文化認同與新的生計產業，避免離鄉背井淪為都市邊緣的流浪者。本文自身參與災後重建之行動經驗，論述災後重建原住民部落再生成的主體化運動，並以此詮釋原住民自治的實質涵義。

After Typhoon Morakot, many Aborigines tribes search for a way to ‘go home’ and to reconstruct their tribal settlements. They must face issues about rehabilitating their livelihood, subsistence economies as well as to reinstate their sustainable development of communities. They tried everything possible to avoid becoming the refugees in urban areas and insisted that they have no choice but to go back to their traditional living areas. This essay will look into their tribal re-establishment efforts after the Morakot Flood in indigenous area of southern Taiwan, and tries to effectuate in-depth readings into those actions and to articulate them with the resurgence of indigenous autonomy movement. I will also try to interpret those social actions in terms of a praxis of societal self-defense.
