  • PF 2021 Final
    Polynésie française Gwendoline Malogne-Fer Ancienne colonie française, la Polynésie française est depuis 2004 une Collectivité d’Outre-mer de 278.000 habitants (dont environ 80 % de Polynésiens)1 qui dispose, au sein de la République française, d’une relative autonomie politique à travers ses propres institutions locales : le gouvernement et l’Assemblée de Polynésie française. Le bilan démographique de 2019 souligne un ralentissement de la croissance de la population – dû à la baisse de la natalité et aux migrations notamment des jeunes bacheliers en poursuite d’étude en Métropole – et un vieillissement de la population2. La Polynésie française se caractérise par une augmentation des inégalités sociales mises en évidence par l’Institut de la Statistique de la Polynésie française (ISPF). Ces enquêtes – en particulier l’enquête budget des familles de 2015 – montrent ainsi que les inégalités de revenus sont plus fortes en Polynésie française qu’en France métropolitaine. Cette situation s’explique en grande partie « à cause du très faible effort de redistribution de la fiscalité polynésienne »3, c’est à dire de l’absence d’impôt sur le revenu. En 2015 un cinquième de la population polynésienne vivait en dessous du seuil de pauvreté4. La bipolarisation de la vie politique a longtemps caractérisé la Polynésie française avec, d’un côté, le Tavini Huiraatira parti indépendantiste dirigé par Oscar Temaru et de, l’autre côté, le parti autonomiste Tahoera’a Huiraatira de Gaston Flosse – qui prône le maintien de la Polynésie française au sein de la République. En 2016, une crise de succession au sein du Tahoera’a, suite à l’inéligibilité de Gaston Flosse, a entrainé la création d’un troisième parti politique le Tapura Huiraatira.

    投稿類別：英文寫作 篇名： Into the Language World of Sakizaya 作者： 卓興毅。新北市市立新北高級工業職業學校應用英文科。三年乙班 郭笠陽。新北市市立新北高級工業職業學校應用英文科。三年乙班 尤楷傑。新北市市立新北高級工業職業學校應用英文科。三年乙班 指導老師： 林信宏老師 宋祖睿老師 Into the Language World of Sakizaya I. Introduction I.1. Background Sakizaya is one of Taiwan’s ancient aborigines. According to historical records, it has a history of more than 300 years. Unfortunately, during the Qing dynasty, there were fierce conflicts between the Sakizaya people and the Qing army. The Qing army tried to annihilate these ethnic groups. To give a strong warning to this tribe, the Qing army sentenced the chieftain of Sakizaya and his wife to the death of línɡchí (凌遲) to set an example, which was known as the Kaleoan incident (加禮苑事件). Survivors of Sakizaya chose to live incognito to avoid the persecution of the Qing army and they were integrated into the Amis (阿美族) tribes for more than 120 years. Until now, the population of Sakizya dwindled to about 1,000 people in 2020 and the Sakizaya language has been regarded as one of the endangered languages in Taiwan. The population distribution of Sakizaya people was shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. The population distribution of Sakizaya people in Taiwan in May of 2020 (Data collected from https://gis.ris.gov.tw/dashboard.html?key=B10) As Figure 1 showed, most of the Sakizaya people live in Hualien County, and some of them live in northern Taiwan, such as Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Taoyuan County. However, most of them moved to urban areas to work or study, which makes them have fewer opportunities to speak in mother tongues.
