十多年來在原住民傳播領域發展的面向上，側重於主體性與傳播權的建構與實踐，策略上偏向建置媒體與製作文本。但是關於接收層面的研究和實際的關切都有所不足。回到原住民生活面所需要的傳播環境來看，究竟原住民族的生活世界中，需要什麼樣的傳播樣態？人們要如何在現代社會中得到傳播的服務和運作傳播？這種傳播環境和和族群社會真實生活及文化脈絡的關係為何？在現代傳播媒體發展的狀況下，可以產生著什麼樣的政策和媒體型態？台灣當前的數位傳播條件，由於日益重視電信化的普及服務、數位落差也在逐漸消弭中，而可攜式行動設備愈來愈普遍，原住民傳播出現了一個新的契機，可以建構一個超越單一媒體限制、滿足多元傳播資訊服務、可以建構溝通平台、而有簡易廉價的傳播樣態，就是透過普及的電信服務，配合數位匯流技術來傳佈媒體內容，以及人人可以容易擁有和上手的可攜行設備，上述各種條件所架構起來的「原住民族傳播網絡」。台灣過去對於原住民傳播的發展，從最初的文本內容改變，進入到建置自有的媒體；現在需要思考的是如何建構一個原住民全體的傳播環境，能夠具有「多元互動、主動創造、共享共榮」的性質和功能。讓各個族群的原住民族站在自己的位置上，享有傳播的環境，得以擁有積極和主動的傳播權利和運作能力，使得文化傳承和發展得到更具力量的型態和方式，這是原住民族傳播網絡最終的想像和期待。

For the last decade, the research subjects focused on the construction and practice of communication right in the field of indigenous communication, media setting up and text production on strategy, but lack of the concern about reception dimension. What kind of communication situation is Indigenous Peoples really need in daily life and living world? How to get the communication services and operations in modern society? What is the relationship between communication environment and social context in the tribal life? What kind of media policy can we have in the digital communication age? Due to the growing importance of the universal telecommunications service, the digital divide is eliminated gradually, and the portable mobile devices become more common. There is a new opportunity for Indigenous Peoples to construct a communication services platform which is multiple, easy and low-cost. The structure of what we call ＂Indigenous Peoples Communication Networks＂ with the digital convergence technologies and everyone can easily have and get started with portable mobile devices. Now we need to think about is how to construct a holistic indigenous peoples' communication environment which can ＂pluralistic interaction, the initiative to create, sharing and development.＂ The imagination and expectation is indigenous peoples can have their own communication environment, to have a positive and proactive communication right and operational capacity for cultural heritage and development.
