8月に北海道に帰省した折、念願だったウポポイに行きました。 天気には恵まれませんでしたが、素敵な時間を過ごさせて頂きました。 北海道で生まれ育った者の一人として、美しく素晴らしいアイヌ文化が後世まで永劫に伝えられていきますように。 カムイレンカイネ、イヤイライケレ。

This is truly a gem. I hope more about the Ainu people becomes popular & known

this is awesome

The Mukkur (Mukkuri) is very similar to an instrument of the native indigenous people in the northern Philippines, called the Igorots. I forgot what we called it but I remember my uncle playing it 😅 it sounds very much the same too with the Ainu’s Mukkuri. 🙌🏼

Help, mayday... I am Ainu, finally just discovered it recently, cannot believe how I've been being trafficked and negated my whole life by Japanese and Americans, etc. It has just been unconscionable... Cannot way to get back 🆘

Hey, are you still alive? I called the cops and they told me they can't do anything because it was from a year ago. But if you still need help, just reply and say so.

1、まず、アイヌの着物を着てよさこいに出る。話題性十分。 2、なーんも使われないポロト湖で釣り大会。また、稚内大沼みたいに、渡り鳥のフェイクを置いて、鳥を定着させて、バードウォチングの名称にする。 3、あのスベスベ温泉を利用して、星野リゾートと提携して、エステの街にする。 4、函館奉行所みたいに、陣屋敷跡に建物を復元して、観光名称に。 5、アイヌチャシがあるので、復元する。パワスポの名称にする！ 6、体育館、文化会館などの箱モノの管理費、維持費はバカにならないので、早く壊す。

Ainu race is not indigenous people of Hokkaido. They came from Sakhalin and Chishima islans in Kamakura era as 1100~1200s. Now Ainu remains does not exist in Hokkaido. But there exist many Jomon ruins all over Hokkaido as well as Honshu Japan. However there exist many another Honshu Ainu words and name in northern Japan. Honshu Ainu and Hokkaido Ainu are different. The existence of Honshu Ainu had been written in ancient documents as Kojiki book. Perhaps Ancient Japanese mated with Honshu Ainu.

Short history of Ainu First Ainu has come to Hokkaido in 13th century. This is due to Mogol army invasion to their original living area around Amoul river. Before they arriving, there were many people living who were ancestors of present Japanese. Shinto shrines were built by them. The oldest one in Hokkaido can be back to mid 12th century. After that, hybrid and merge proceeded, and were perfectly mixed. As a result there is no genuine Ainu in Japan now. This video is made for flourish of tourism industry in Shiraoi Town. I am very sad Ainu culture were and are utilized as a tool of economy.

pato kanchi while I see your point I also see it as a good thing that people around the world would be seeing the Ainu culture one that haha never really been talked about much of outside of Asia if even Japan

[@lastrationalist7890]

What utter Japanese revisionist bullcrap that you are spewing here. The Ainus didn't come into existence in the 12th or 13th century due to Mongol invasion. In fact, their direct ancestors, the Jomon, are the oldest inhabitants of Hokkaido and possibly the rest of Japan. The anthropological and archeological record very much support this given that the Ainu are a mixture between the Okhotsk and Satsumon cultures, both of which are Jomon descendants. Really, what you say is what Japanese nationalists have been saying for over a century to justify their claims to other lands, which the Ainus are one of the biggest victims of.

[@KikiYushima]

That's so entirely wrong. As someone else pointed out, the archeology supports them being _much_ more closely related to the Jomon people. I've been studying the Ainu for close to 3 years now even if my English-language resources are limited. Their own folktales talk about how they were in Hokkaido and the surrounding area well before the "children of the sun" came and took them over. Kayano Shigeru's family could (supposedly) trace their lineage back 14 generations at least within his lifetime. archive.org/details/ainuspiritofnort00wash This is one of the best English-language books about the Ainu; it covers almost every possible topic: religion, history, archeology, genetics, environment, and more.

[@tainahollo8567]

Tourists who know and want to learn more about the Ainu culture and the Ainu language, may help in saving the culture and the endangered language. The community needs the money tourists bring, and the more people there are who learn to speak Ainu, the more opportunities there are to use it. I hope there will be language nests for small children; they could be arranged by grandparents who can still speak Ainu.

[@jackjackyphantom8854]

@@tainahollo8567 Japanese (Yamato) are actually a mixture of Jomon and Yayoi, while the Ainu are more direct descendants of Jomon, so they're genetically related in a way. But I'd say that Yamato people are more Yayoi than Jomon overall.
