Ainupride and Ainu Rebels
Paperboy and Co., Fukuoka, Japan
Self-description: "AINU REBELS is a group of young Ainu in the Tokyo area, formed in Summer of 2006 [and lead by one of their colleagues, Mina - ed.]. While learning traditional dancing and singing, we also work on producing new ways of expressing our identities and culture. We are doing our best to 'have fun' and 'be cool' while spreading Ainu culture throughout the world!! We chose the name 'REBLES' with the hope of creating change - to transform our society into one where Ainu people can be proud to be Ainu."
