As the first indigenous communication department of the only college for indigenous studies in Taiwan, NDHU's educational mission has been specifically focused on the training of future media practitioners who can devote themselves to preserving indigenous languages and culture. So what has been the result of such educational practice after ten years of implementation? Have there been conflicts behind the process of ethnic communication education and the requirements of academic professionalism? As a case study, this research aims to retrospectively examine such experiences and tries to predict the new directions for future indigenous communication education.
