    The Ainu remind me a fair bit of the Scottish: native minorities from the far north, both of which had clan-based systems, who had their language and way of life suppressed by their neighbours. Of course in Scotland case, they've managed to maintain being the majority group of the region (albeit with heavy English admixture) unlike the Ainu who were basically almost wiped out of the region entirely. I have a lot of respect for the Ainu since they've managed to keep their language and culture alive after all these centuries, we are much alike.

    Now Japanese people understand how much important Ainu is. Recently it is found every genuine Japanese people have ainu-DNA. In ancient era Japanese people and ainu-people mated each. This is the evidence of the origin of Japanese people.

    That's because the Ainu are genetically related to Siberians (Chukchi, Yakut, Nivkh, Nenets etc) and Native Americans (Tlingit, Greenlandic, Iroquois, Navajo, Sioux, Aztec, Lenca, Amazonian etc). Eurasia was once connected with Alaska via a landbridge, now the Chukchi peninsula and Bering Strait, and ancient nomadic hunter-gathers crossed over there roughly 30,000 years ago hunting for food. The Ainu split off from the NA and SIberians a long time ago and went southeast to Sakhalin and Hokkaido.

    Unfortunately there was discrimination against Ainu people for a long time. Nowdays a lot of people think it's important to respect and conserve Ainu culture like this village. Also the government recently established a new law to ban the discrimination, so I hope it's getting better.

    @Jomon Ainu Interesting. I thought there were still ainus in Sakhalin. Actually, according to Russian Census, ainu still make up 0.3% of Sakalin Oblast population. I think there are some ainu remainig there, even if it is a small minority. There are also a few kuril ainu (from Northern Kuril islands) who were relocated in southern Kamchatka. Maybe the remaining Sakahlin ainu descend from a few ainus who where not deported back in 1945 for any reason? Idk. If you have some information about it, I'd like to know it.

    Ainu are not indigenous people of Japan In 1200, the Okhotsk bleachers, who had been exiled from the Mongol Empire, invaded Hokkaido, where the descendants of the Japanese Jomon people lived as indigenous peoples of Japan, and destroyed them with poisonous arrows and iron iron. At this time, he raped a Japanese Jomon girl and gave birth to Manoko. Who was the child of the Japanese Jomon girl Ga at this time? He answered that he was Ainoko, a child born to the Okhotsk bleachers. Foreigners who do not understand Japanese do not understand Ainoko. So she explained that she was a child of a foreigner. From there Aino means a person. Since Ainoko is half of a different ethnic group, she inherits half of the Jomon gene. However, the culture, language and customs of the occupied peoples do not remain. The culture, language and customs of the conqueror remain. Even if Aino inherits the Jomon gene, the culture, language, and customs of the Akhotsk bleachers "non-monoethnic hybrids" are inherited, but there is no unity. That is Aino. He is half of the Japanese Jomon people, and there is no unity of culture, language, and customs as Aino. Why can Aino become an indigenous Japanese? アイノは日本先住民族ではない。 1200年、モンゴル帝国から大陸を追放されたオホーツク漂白民が日本縄文人末裔の擦文人が日本先住民として暮らしていた北海道に侵攻し毒矢と鉄鏃で滅亡させた。このとき日本縄文人娘を強姦し、間ノ子を産んだ。このとき日本縄文人少女ガ産んだ子は誰の子?と聞かれ、オホーツク漂白民との間に生まれた子、アイノ子と答えた。日本語のわからない異民族はアイノ子がわからない。そこで、異民族の人の子と説明した。そこからアイノは人を意味する。アイノ子は異民族とのハーフなので縄文人遺伝子も半分受け継ぐ。しかし、占領された民族の文化、言語、習慣は残らない。征服者の文化、言語、習慣が残る。アイノは縄文遺伝子を受け継いでもアホーツク漂白民「単一民族では無い雑種」の文化、言語、習慣が引き継がれるが統一性が無い。それがアイノである。日本縄文人のハーフであり、アイノとしての文化、言語、習慣の統一性が無い。そのアイノがなぜ日本先住民になれるのですか?
