The pillars, however, were removed from the village for exhibition in Taiwan's Institute of Ethnology Museum after a typhoon toppled the house 40 years ago. This film follows a group of young Amis who seek to restore their people's connection with their ancestors. Working with female shamans, the Amis are successful in reconstructing the ancestral house. Their efforts for cultural revitalization, however, are complicated by the influence of western religions, national land policy and local politics. This documentary interweaves reality and legends in its presentation of a unique case of repatriation. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Amis (Taiwan people)|xHistory. 650 0 Ethnology |zTaiwan. 650 0 Group identity |zTaiwan. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Hu, Taili,|efilm director. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/108808|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/108808/external -image
