Why do people always fight about this? Why does it matter so much whether your great-great-grandfather came from Mongolia and your great-great-great-grandmother came from Siberia? (not applying only to Japan and the Ainu but all over the world) Everyone's been intermixing since the beginning of time and we AAAALLLLLLLL come from the same common ancestor, so instead of battling over the roots of ethnicity why not just love the one you have now? It's so much more worthwhile.
Ah, tey are actors (not real ainus). Now i understand. Não sei...o mundo é muito complicado e, pensando bem, é melhor extermina-los e unificar a coisa toda (refuse to translate this).
exterminar os ainus?? porque?(he said in portuguese that it would be better to exterminate them and unificate the whole thing... i dont know what he meant by this but im just translating for those who dont speak portuguese
hey!!! The one used by the ainu lady in 00:45 is like the one here in the philippines. The way its sounds, the way it is played is actually the same! Here in the Philippines we call it kubing.
Japan would benefit fr acknowledging their roots in the ainu, that is their wonderful heritage.They are a very complex, beautiful culture.Also a warring people, where do you think that fighting spirit of the japanese come from.;)
Northern japanese claim to have white russian in them after intermixing but say they are japanese only.They have a habit of doing that, they don't claim other ethnicities.Some japanese come fr china for mongol blood,language originated fr china NOT korea as some koreans claim.Korean,AND other immigrants have mixed w/now the already mixed japanese w/ainu/russian.But claim only japanese.
Europeans orginated from central asia, with the barbarians living throughout asia, migrated throughout europe(celts) that can account for the ainu who historically called barbarians.Similar rope design.Totems not orig ainu,copied fr am indians.The ainu have white russian blood in them,common it's obvious.Much propaganda false info on internet.
The Ainu and Japanese have been mixing in for centuries, some Ainu don't claim their ancestry, they claim only Japanese, because of past discrimination. It's a sad, because in particular the ainu are part of the heritage in Japan and thousands if not millions of people are part Ainu. It's like alot of Americans deny their American Indian descent.
@beckerikeda902 wtf? its nothing like that in the united states, its more like no one is mixed and the people who are take advantage of the benefits they get even though they look nothing like they're cherokee , navajo, or apache.
it was a massacre and the few that were left were forced into schools for years so that they could not communicate with their parents
its one thing to be european and be conquered by the romans, its another to have all of north and south america wiped out.
Japanese are a mixture from the Jomon, Ainu, Malay, Russian, Mongolian, and other groups. The Ainu are so mixed in, they don't resemble their original ancestors, who looked like a mix of people... White Russians, Fair Skinned Indians from India, Polynesians.
Yamato people is lelated to people that lived a really long time ago in Altai and are closely related to Koreans then Mandchu and nowadays Mongols (khalka, buriats, etc.). People in the south of Japan have malaysian blood, the reason is malaysian people, indonesian and polynesian people come from Taiwan which is less than 200 km of southern islands of Japan.
Am I wrong to therefore think that Ainu people always lived in where it's called today Hokkaido and Japanese people would be originally settlers from China, Korea or even Mongolia ?
isn't there language different? then the japanese that we hear? are they a kind of tribes? i've heard of these people but not that familar on them. i know that they live in hokkaido.
Yes, the language is considered isolated from any other, the first few seconds are Japanese with the rest being Ainu and overall, the Ainu are the Japanese equivalent of Native Americans from the noble savage stereotype to getting screwed out of their land.
Though considered a moribund language, tehre are handful of fluent speakers, many of hwom do use the lang. in their daily lives. A revitalization of the language is at-hand.
This has been flagged as spam show
There aren't many pure Ainu's 'cuz Japanese enslaved them and forced them to mix w Japanese.

XIPM3 3 years ago
Russian no, Indian I don't know. In an other hand koreans (and not Japanese) share a bit of indian heritage in their DNA. It's strange I know...
