The connotations of ethnic identity, four identity statuses theory, model of ethnic identity development and ethnic minority identity were reviewed. The results provided data for analyzing how certain activities may affect the ethnic identification process.

Summary
Due to the impact of cultural globalization, many unique forms of folk culture and society are facing danger of disappearing. American natives would face a sense of emotional dislocation when they left their homeland. This kind of feeling would hinder their success when they pursue their academic or career goals (Griffin-Pierce, 1997). Benjamin, Chambers, and Reiterman (1993) noted the difficulty of American natives to persist their college education. Taiwan is no exception with this global trend. Most indigenous people are still living tribally in remote mountainous areas, their traditional culture and indigenous identities are quickly fading away, and their living style has moved toward a so called international style
