Their ancestors used to live in the southern Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, Hokkaido, and the northern part of Honshu. Today, they live mainly in Hokkaido and the Tokyo metropolitan areas. The history of the Ainu is a history of exploitation and oppression as well as inequality, prejudice, and discrimination by the Wajin (non-Ainu Japanese). The assimilation policies of the Japanese government in the 19th century were basically a process of ethnic cleansing, and they still have much implication in contemporary Japan. The Ainu live just like anyone else, but some encounter certain problems in their everyday life. The topics above will be explored with time for a Q & A session.To register for the Sept. 21 only program, please register here.
