Besides from you being a complete Shithead, you got it completely wrong.
The Ainu are NOT geneticaly related to caucasians! They are most likely descendants of the Jomon people. Who were the first people to inhabit Japan in the early stone age. Yes, that´s 10.000 years ago.

i mean about the right for land
as for america the latest research shows caucasians were the first people and later mongolian indians arrived and now most people admit caucasians have more rights on that land than mongolian indians
I sure hope you don't mean this in a "caucasians rule the earth way?" Can't really tell.
And no one really knows when exactly the first Ainu people migrated to Hokkaido, so you can't know whether they were the first people on the japanese islands.
Ainu are NOT Caucasian. That's just a old, tired white supremacy myth. Actually, there is more and more evidence that Ainu are related to Native Americans (they certainly look like natives of the Pacific Coast). As for Caucasians being the first people in N. America--there is SOME evidence that not 100% of the people who originally settled N. America were Asians. But, it's extremely clear that most of the Native American genetic stock comes from Asia.
Thank You! i've felt the same way and consider Asians (esp. Ainu) distant cousins (being of N. American blood), and was floored when i first saw an Ainu video because of how strikingly similar they are to NW Coast people.
I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and I grew up with a lot of exposure to Pacific coast cultures. When I visited Ainu museums in Hokkaido, I was absolutely amazed by the similarity of the artwork and mythology. The people look similar, too. There is now evidence that N. America that prehistoric peoples from Japan (likely ancestors of the Ainu) were some of the Asians who settled North America, especially the Pacific Coast. It seems that this similarity may not be coincidence.
I should also add that some Ainu have an opposite theory--not that N. America was settled by prehistoric people from Japan, but that Japan was settled by prehistoric people from N. America. In other words, Native American explorers settled in Japan and became the descends of the Ainu. None of these theories are proven, but they all have a fair bit of credibility. The "Ainu are Caucasian" theory, however, is has been much long been abandoned and recent DNA testing further proved it false.
Well, there WAS a hypothesis (mostly by Pierre Naerte) that Ainu might have a relationship with Indo-European languages. However, this was based on a mere 14 words and has pretty much been long abandoned for lack of evidence. There have been other theories connecting Ainu to Polynesian, Native American and Altaic languages, and those have more credibility in modern linguistics, but none have been conclusive. At this point, Ainu can only safely be classified as a linguistic isolate.
You're probably thinking the English, which were one of the first Western European groups to colonize America (Jamestown, Plymouth Rock, etc).
You might be thinking later on, during America's westward expansion, but let me remind you there were plenty of other ethnic groups (Chinese, Poles, Jews, etc) than just he Irish that drove wagons to the Pacific.
@Karwamaka Paisano, mira este video "Looking for the Genetic Roots of the Japanese(3/5)" te vas ha sorprender en la semejanza que existe entre los Ainus y los Indigenas de los Andes.
It seems that a lot of people only know about them through characters like Nakoruru and Ashitaka (from Mononoke-hime). I learned about them because of Kayano Shigeru, so I suppose I am unusual in that respect. . . .

what the fuck
Caucasians visited America before Columbus, sure, but they Native Americans arrived waaaaay before any whites did.
Also the Ainu are far from white. If anything, they're closer to Native Americans.

Well...Ainu LANGUAGE is supposed to be related to caucasian old languages, but as you say, Ainus themselves (their physics) are not Caucasian :)

以前白老のアイヌ民族博物館で「録音していいよ」と言われたので録っていたらちょうどこの歌でした。ウコウク（ukouk）＝輪唱です。
なんだか涙がでるような思いにとらわれ東京に帰った後もこの曲を聴いています。
半小節ずらして歌うことでエコーがかかったように聴こえ、清涼たる大地の広がりが感じられます。まさにカルチャーショックでした。respect。

tanpopo03 4 years ago
あ、ウコウク（ukouk）というのはこの歌の名前ではなく、こうやって歌う「歌い方（歌唱法）の名前」です。このように輪唱で歌うこともウコウクと呼ぶみたいですね。すいませんこの歌そのものの名前は私も知りません。ちょっと残念。

La primera palabra ainu que oi fue la del nombre del ninja de la TV "Kamui". Se supone que es la versión ainu de "Kami" (Dios).

Ashitaka was of the Emishi tribe, not the Ainu. I learned of the Ainu due to Nakoruru. I feel sorta bad that I did not know they existed...

The Emishi are believed to have been related to the Ainu people, actually. Not the same, but similar.

I didn't even know Ashitaka was Ainu-like. It explained a lot though.
I have to do a research project on them.
