This study focused on the Nanghiya Workshop, which has been supported by Chief Wang of the Tsou people since 2012. We interacted with the primary seamstresses at the workshop, 4 Tsou women, who shared stories related to the tailoring of traditional Tsou costumes. Narrative research was conducted to collect data and collate and analyze stories. We explored the process by which these seamstresses learned tailoring from the basics, their experiences of various adversities and the frustration of not being identified by the community, and how they managed to overcome difficulties and excel in the art of traditional tailoring. In addition, we investigated how the continuation of the traditional Tsou costume in the Nanghiya Workshop influenced the following 4 dimensions: a) the perceptions of the seamstresses regarding the meaning of life; b) the workshop team; c) families; and d) cultural pride and heritage in the community. By narrating the emotional journeys of the Tsou seamstresses, this study aims to demonstrate the importance of preserving aboriginal culture, and inspire all indigenous people to create cohesion and consensus within the ethnic community through cultural heritage of various dimensions. Thus, the sustainable management of traditional arts can be achieved, thereby enabling the diverse aboriginal culture and rich spiritual assets to flourish.
