Over a couple of years ago I wrote a paper for a anthropology population genetics class about the Ainu, but did significant research on the Japanese population as a whole for back ground info, and what is being aid here is what I found out and I am glad the info is being recognized by the Japanese government! -Mar

Yayoi are not only sino-korean.
Ainu is the Japanese isolated origin as a Jomon




anyway
"Ainu is recognised as indigenous people of Japan " makes more discrimination matters
nobody knows who ainu is in mainland
my ancester might be an ainu
I understand Japan should value Ainu culture and tradition more. or Japan should make a resevation for ainu?
only ainu is indigenous people of Japan?
it is not.. how about jomon ppi
I think it is revers discrimination. it gives ainu many privileges
the view from Yamato imperial, Kamakura samurais were emishi ppl. that is . Azuma ebishu(戎＝蝦夷)

I think the world should accept the Japanese is recognised as indigenous people of far east.



Typical Japanese homeless
If you watch the Japanese carefuly, you can see the 5 parson in 10ppls look like an ainu
If the Japanese doesn't shave the beard, the half of them looks like Ainu
