Life writing is the main presentation of indigenous literature, which is an important issue in aboriginal studies. It presents individual life experiences, emotions, and memories. Through writing one's ＂self imagining self,＂ it leaves a specific record for tribal culture and history, thereby responding to the mainstream writing work that has been judged and studied by ＂others＂. This kind of reflective self-writing serves as the function of responding to the imagination of ＂others＂. This matches the idea of gaze in literary criticism and cultural studies. Through the writing process, the aboriginal subjectivity has been utilized to shape dialogues, construct identification, and foster ethnic awareness. The aboriginal culture penetrates into the mainstream society and regains the right to interpret the ethnicity. It creates the dialogues in a cultural position. This article mainly focuses on the gaze reversal in the aboriginal life writing and discusses the issue in the recent work of Syaman Rapongan The Dreams on the Ocean. Syaman Rapongan uses the first-person position to narrate his own life experiences and emotions. He reveals the life narration of the main characters tribal people, the tribe, and the ethnic groups in his previous works in detail and presents the Tao history as well as the present condition more completely. With the life writing restructured by the island code, he reshapes the marginalized other as the subject. The existence of object becomes the discourse of the subject. He thus proves the existence of ethnic subjectivity through the tribal life writing and narration with the intention of creating a chance to know the ethnicity and culture.
