森林是族人賴以維生的資源,我們熟知播種和狩獵的季節。昭和草、苦苣菜、刺莧、龍葵、山蘇,或取黃藤心煮湯或炒食,是部落的傳統飲食。
調味:山胡椒果實、食茱萸嫩葉可做香料。小葉桑、懸鉤子做零食。腎蕨地下部的貯水器、水鴨腳可解渴。水鴨腳莖葉可洗滌、通脫木髓心串成項鍊、黃藤莖籐編織器具、苧麻捻線紡織衣物、九芎木可做陷阱。
童玩:用矢竹、桂竹竹管做竹槍,月桃種子、通條木與脫木髓心為子彈;用蓖麻果實上的芒刺互勾,沒斷的是贏家。火炭母草的莖與芒草葉合著吹,發出嗶嗶聲。
醫藥:冇骨消可治腰酸背痛、下腹脹痛、撞傷;小白花鬼針草全株煮水洗浴,可治皮膚病;龍葵、黃鵪菜、苦苣菜嫩葉煮湯做解酒湯;五節芒、加拿大蓬、台灣澤蘭或九芎嫩葉打碎,敷傷口可以止血。
民族植物知識是傳統生態智慧,要傳承、教導泰雅子孫,明白植物和泰雅人的關係,豐富的生命故事,更是人類醫藥發展的寶庫。
