Ainu

"Ainu" means "human", and it's the name of people descendants of Mongoloid migrants who entered the Japanese islands approx 25,000-30,000 years ago and lived in Hokkaido.

In 1997, a new law was passed which provides funds for the research and promotion of Ainu culture such as language, traditional dancing and various ceremonies.
