| Research Abstract |
For over a hundred years, the UTARI (AINU people) were forced to fall on hard times under a regional development program in HOKKAIDO. By means of the social researches at UKAKAWA, BIRATORI, and HOBETSU Towns, we found out that each UTARI community has a particular history concerning adaptational process, and shows a peculiar variation on the aspect of social and living structures. It may be said that the ways of interaction in which the UTARI people first made contact with the WAJIN people have decided their lives today.
We found out that there are some prejudice and discrimination against AINU-people who have preserved their traditional culture in URAKAWA town. It is important that they were most manifestly found in the school life in the community which is indispensable for socialization of AINU's children.
The UTARI of URAKAWA are strongly hoping that they preserve for themselves their traditional culture from generation to generation. But their psychology is somewhat ambivalent. Holding their culture, they desire, at the same time, to take in the modern civilized ways of life and improve their standards of living. The subject was structurally approached in educational, historical, and cultural perspectives.
