首先，我們要回顧平埔族的原住民族身分如何被行政措施剝奪。接著，我們要從程序、以及實質面，檢視政府如何侵犯平埔族的人權，包括正當程序、參與權、以及平等權。再來，我們將考察美國印地安人的原住民族身份如何認定，並且要分別從行政、立法、以及司法三個層面，來了解政府如何承認原住民族，特別是身份的回復。

This paper studies how Taiwan Pinpu tribes (Pe-po-Hoans) become assimilated as Hakka and Han people. The purpose is to develop a distinction between the ＂Han-nized Taiwanese＂ and the ＂Taiwanese of Han descendants＂, an aspect that has been overlooked in constructing the nativity of Taiwanese society. This paper calls people of Pinpu origin who later become assimilated as Hakka the ＂Hakka Pinpu.＂ It finds the three steps through which Pinpu tribes were able to transform themselves completely into Hakkas, an ethnic group of the Han. The steps include adopting a Han surname, creating a pedigree (family tree), and establishing a communal property in the name of the clan for rites to offer sacrifices to ancestors. This study does not only shed lights on regional study of Taiwan society, but also provides an alternative way of thinking the identification of the ethnic group and the culture Taiwanese.
