I still feel like I can't grasp the true feeling of Ainu people. If there is any ethnic Ainu here please message me or reply to this thread. I feel very fascinated by a Ainu, I wish to talk with an ethnic Ainu but never had the opportunity to meet one.
Here is my observation of Ainu today: From what I learned, at least on youtube and wikipedia.
- They clearly identify strongly as ethnic Ainu
- They are clearly trying to preserve Ainu tradition and culture
- They feel discriminated by the Japanese and many hide their identities.
- Their numbers are small from 25,000 officially to possibly 200,000 people.
- They were invaded and colonized by Japanese
.NOW MY QUESTION
Do they want to be independence and form a Hokkaido nation?
Do they want the Japanese people out of their land?
Do they acknowledge most of their own people look 0% Ainu and are in fact mixed with Japanese or are just Japanese assimilated into Ainu?
Do they understand ancient pure Ainu, and the Ainu before Japanese colonization century look almost like Caucasian? ( even if they weren't genetically ).
