The Ainu are an indigenous people from the northern region of the Japanese archipelago, particularly Hokkaido. The name \u201cAinu\u201d is derived from the word aynu<\/em>, which means \u201chuman being\u201d in the Ainu language. The Ainu language, culture, and history are distinct from those of Wajin<\/em> (ethnic Japanese), the ethnic majority in Japan. The National Ainu Museum\u2019s objectives are to build a society where Ainu pride is recognized, raise awareness of Ainu history and culture, and help to forge a future for Ainu culture. The exhibitions are designed to explore Ainu history and culture from Ainu perspectives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
