I am very familiar with the Ainu bear ceremony, but not that familiar with the Nivkh bear ceremony. Both the Nivkh and Ainu have cultural affiliations, and speak languages not related to any other languages in the world. It has been theorized that the Nivkh mixed with the Ainu, and that is where their cultural affiliations come from. It benefits both Russia and Japan to learn more about their indigenous peoples.
You could see in the documentary that the people were eating "cxef penx," which is Nivkh for "bear soup." I do not know what the Bear Ceremony was called though?
And if anyone is interested for my other projects, please look at the "connected walls" facebook page, or the movie "A cycle of fences", which is on vimeo. Sebastien
I'm happy to see that even if my long-feature-documentary couldn't be made, because of financial issues, still the short trailer brings dialog. By the way, if anyone knows where I can find the movie "Spotted Dog Running by the Edge of the Sea.", I would be really happy to watch it!
@babadroom I found the entire motion picture on Youtube, Just type in "Spotted Dog Running by the Edge of the Sea." I highly recommend that you watch it. It is a great source of using the motion picture industry in preserving indigenous cultures and languages. Wide use watching of this motion picture can really help in international support for the Nivkh people.
There was a movie that came out of Russia during the 1980s called "Spotted Dog Running by the Edge of the Sea." It was about the Nivkh people, and the film was in their language. It was about a traditional Nivkh village, with a bear ceremony. Hopefully, this movie can be tracked down, because the motion industry is serving a very important role in indigenous cultures and preserving indigenous languages. Yurl Brenner was from Sakhalin. He obviously had Russian, but what was his Asian roots?
@uphamtimothy Bear ceremony is common among Ainu too, and we call it "iomante" here in Japan. I'm interested in the northern indigenous people. There are a lot of people in these regions who mix with Russian and live together.
Thanks for posting this video. I just found out recently that one of my ancestry dna haplogroups is Y. I think some of the Nivkh belong to it. .Im actually a caucasion mostly, but I have native american roots too, of which some people believe that native americans are descended from Siberan asians or something like that :)
@cutechubbychick1 Hello, bros! My roots is from Sakhalin and yes, I'm Caucasian looking too because my grandmother was Russian living in Sakhalin and had moved to Hokkaido at WW2. As you know, Sakhalin had various kind of people such as Japanese, Russian, Ainu (South), Uilta (Central) and Nivkh (North) and some of them had moved to Japan at WW2. So your ancestors moved to the States? Our ancestors had a tough time, right?
