【TEDxDongWuU 2025年度大會】Number Line-數線在數學中，數線由原點、方向與單位長組成，延展出無限可能的圖形與結構。 如人生旅途，我們在這條無盡的線上摸索前行，或堅定、或迷惘。 每一段經歷，終將化作專屬於我們的獨特軌跡。變裝，對跩姬而言，是一場與自己的對話。在上妝與登臺之間，她不斷拆解「我是誰」的提問。 跩姬堅信，變裝不應該只是模仿與表演，而是持續探索「認同」的過程，移植於歐美文化的變裝，應該要找到跟與在地文化、歷史的連結，進而塑造以臺灣為主體的認同歸屬。 Draggy Boo Boo 跩姬寶貝，本名高偉恩，劇場工作者，隸屬於灣島娛樂的變裝皇后。跩姬寶貝認為，變裝是一種認識「自己」的手段，透過各種變裝形式，跩姬不斷試探、拆解與重構自我。在每一次上妝與登臺之間，重新思索：「我究竟是誰？」此之外，具有原住民身分的跩姬，也嘗試變裝文化的不同可能。從服裝的設定，到歌曲的選擇，都能看出跩姬試圖將臺灣在地文化融入他的變裝當中。因為跩姬相信，移植於歐美文化的變裝，應該要找到跟與在地文化、歷史的連結，進而塑造以臺灣為主體的認同歸屬。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

In 1851, the state of California paid $93 a head to exterminate Native Americans—turning murder into government policy. But despite genocide, betrayal, and erasure, Native leaders didn’t disappear. They led. They adapted, endured, and protected their people through one of the darkest chapters in American history. In this TEDx Talk, leadership advisor Dr. Rod Wilson draws from decades of work with tribal nations to uncover the most powerful leadership lessons you were never taught—lessons forged in an era of extermination, passed down through generations, and more relevant today than ever. In a world facing disruption—from AI to misinformation—these timeless lessons are exactly what leaders need now. Walk away with a new understanding of what leadership really means—and how to lead when it matters most. Rod Wilson has over 30 years of experience advising tribal nations on leadership, sovereignty, and strategic growth. He holds a Ph.D. and serves on the Advisory Board for the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University. He is also the author of The Native American Dream—a groundbreaking case study that documents the past three decades of tribal government transformation and the legalization of Indian gaming.
