The irony is that they weren't traditionally hunter gatherers but a sedentary people with plant cultivation before their lands were seized. There is also good evidence that they either were the Yayoi or were a similar or related group.
Yamato, Ainu, and Okinawans are ancient Jomon people with the same Jomon genes (haplogroup D). (By the way, Chinese and Koreans do not have the Haplogroup D gene.) The Jomon period lasted for 10,000 years, there were no wars, and everyone lived in peace and harmony. After the Jomon period, during the Yayoi period, the Yamato Jomon people were invaded by military immigrants from the Korean Peninsula and China, and the Yamato Jomon people mixed with them and became Yayoi people. As a result, mixed-race Yayoi people became physically different from Ainu people, but that doesn't change the fact that both Ainu people and general Yamato people are Japanese. The Ainu people have assimilated into the Japanese population, and most people do not even know that they have Ainu blood. There are almost no pure Ainu people left in Japan.
@@alkanchannel5630 I took 23&me and my ancestors migrated Arabia India Siberia Japan so I believe they mated throughout their migration. 23&me won’t show you these dna in your test percentages because after 5th generation it no longer shows. But your haplogroups still shows these genes so yes japanese are mixed with one of these countries they passed through.
It must be a struggle being indigenous in Japanese society. It was wonderful seeing Ainu activists marching for their rights.
So, no one gonna talk about the absolute Chad holding the bear hands in 4:14 like it's a baby?
they domesticated bears, had rituals with them
Thank you so much for offering this documentary in English about these two wonderful minorities of Japan!

I've heard of the Ainu, but never heard of the Ryukyuans.
Hope living peaceful side by side.

Indigenous peoples of America burned deceased peoples houses too
OKINAWA FREE !
Ainu looks like Russian or arab
More like native American to me
@@leaangelina1921some of them have native american’s blood! 😊
I think, ainu people are mixed bloods with Caucasian and mongoloid and Ryukyuans are from the native Taiwanese both in ancient times
What you are referring to has to do with genetics, not anyone's "opinion."
Katsue karch The Ainu are not related to caucasians in any way, shape, or form. This has been proven with genetics.
Ainu have no relation with Caucasian . They aren't Mongoloid-Caucasian . They maybe have Mongoloid gen but not caucasian .
