阿美族人和大多台湾人的取名习惯不同,在他们的语言中,阿美族不问姓氏,而是问你是谁的孩子。伊麦・阿蹦的姓是她的祖母的名字-阿蹦,而她多用她的名字-伊麦来称呼自己。这个部落的族人称自己为「邦查(pangcah)」,而「阿美(Amis)」更像是一个外族人对他们的称呼。

DJ 汝妮 (Dungi Sapor) 在她的音樂影片《 I Ho Yan 》中跨足了兩個世界。傳統而豐富的原住民聲音與充滿脈動的電子節拍交織在一起。同一影片中,汝妮身穿阿美族的傳統服飾出現在台灣的森林和海岸線,以及在華麗的夜店中搖身一變為現代DJ,形成了強烈對比。
Dungi was inspired by the Maori in New Zealand to embark on her genre-busting musical career to encourage Amis pride in Taiwan.
Pancouver aims to build a more equal and empathetic society by advancing appreciation of visual and performing arts—and cultural communities—through education. Our goal is to elevate awareness about underrepresented artists and their organizations.
The Society of We Are Canadians Too created Pancouver to foster greater appreciation for underrepresented artistic communities. A rising tide of understanding lifts all of us.
We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). With this acknowledgement, we thank the Indigenous peoples who still live on and care for this land.
