過去台灣原住民，大多以小米為主食，原住民也用小米來釀酒，是招待客人的見面禮
老人家常說”小米是祖靈賜予的食物就像黃金一樣得來不易”
面臨風雨肆虐及老鼠、小鳥的偷吃
原住民總是習慣，樂觀的看待這一切祖靈的考驗，能收多少算多少，豐收之餘總不忘記感謝祖靈的恩賜
In the past, millet was the staple food for most of Taiwan's indigenous people. It was also used to brew millet wine, a drink to treat honored guests. The elder people in the tribe often say that millet is a food given by the ancestral spirits, and it is as hard to be obtained as gold. Though the millet harvest is sometimes affected by rodents and birds, indigenous people remain optimistic, viewing all this as an ordeal imposed by their ancestors. The millet growers simply harvest whatever is left there, without forgetting to show their gratitude towards the ancestral spirits.
