Institutional Discrimination, the Oppression of Native Cultures: What is Left for Ainu & Mapuche Way of Life?
Between the generations of western development and modernization throughout the world, people have come to see just how better their lives are from being a part of this movement. Few pockets of societies across the glove do, however, which to keep close to traditional customs. The native Ainu of Japan along with the indigenous Mapuche people of Chile and Argentina have long been discriminated against by the local main stream culture. Within my study I shall review the tension between the indigenous group and the majority groups along with issues of some wanting assimilation while others wish for cultural survival.
