There are relatively few native Ainu left to my understanding and most of them live in Japan, primarily Hokkaido. Given their history of persecution, both by the Russians and the Japanese, they have been rather hesitant to display their ancestry openly in the past, but this is slowly changing. All of the artifacts will stay at the Sakhalin Regional Museum in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where they will be studied and added to the public viewing collections there. Unfortunately, every time I tried to visit the museum, it was closed, but I was told that they have a very nice collection of Ainu and other artifacts on display. Additionally, Ben plans to gather together all of the discoveries of all of the groups as they report on their findings and publish papers, so that the information can be accessed easily. Misty |
