they are calling on the name ahayah ashar ahayah ! which is iam that iam the same god the north america indians called on no why because these tribal people here are actually hebrews! they may look asian but god spread his chosen seed across the 4 corners of the earth for not following his commandments! these people are either from the tribe of naphtali(hawain,samoa,alaskan native, philiphinoe) or ruebe(seminole indian in florida and aboriginal of australia) this is why they get hated on!

@lancelottbfam23

Hebrews? Chosen seed?? What the hell have you been smoking?! >:(

[venicelocal]

every asians are from mongolians

[tanpopo03]

Er, no, they're not. There was a migration stream which came from an area wich today is part Russia part Mongolia, but by no means are all Asians descendants from those migrating peoples.

I wish more of an effort was made to preserve native cultures. Members of tribes like this one are some of the wisest and just people on Earth and haven't been distracted by the complications and prevelent immorality of the modern world:(

Who cares about the "modern" mainstream Japanese culture. Let these valuable traditions live on. For those who have a problem with them being "less modern" then they have to let of their ethnocentrism.

@lancelottbfam23 Such a misguided person you are. I feel bad for you, really. I bet you defend your nonsense beliefs on a daily basis.

[TheLonelyBearCub]

I love native cultures so much, I am hoping to study Anthropolgy in college. The Ainu of Japan, the native Americans (I am native american myself), the Kirat and Limbu of Nepal, the Lapp people of Norway, Native culture is so interesting to me!

@lancelottbfam23 Dont make crazy religious claims, educate yourself. There is a proper place for crazies and that is Hyde Park in London. There is translations for this, your backwoods religious superstitions are unnecessary.

[Kainaa23Bill]

@lancelottbfam23 A) Educate yourself. B) read any article the first thing you will read is that the language has NO similarities with any known languagesC) To be listening for words similar to ones you want to hear is just blatantly ignorant, as translations exist and your interpretation not relevant. Look glad you liked it, but frankly don't put your religious dogma and superstitions into the picture. This is an awesome video, of an awesome language that is dying, make crazy claims on your page

@toki1221 That is exactly what I thought ^^

[toki1221]

@0Kajja0 jomon/ainu coming from siberia so pure japanese might have something to do with sami.

[0Kajja0]

The singing and the costumes reminds me of the scandinavian native people "Sami". I know that the sami people carries a special gene and this gene can only be found in the heritage of the Sami, and a very tiny group of japanese people... can the ainu have something to do with that?
