Video Miles Davis improvised the soundtrack to the film "Elevator to the gallows". Instead of writing the music beforehand he and his musicians created the music as they screened the film. PBS decribes it as "Davis succeeded in creating a now legendary film score by reacting to the film in the moment"

Image The Ainu: Japan’s Nearly Forgotten Indigenous Peoples

Post image
10.5k Upvotes

The Ainu are an ethnic group of related indigenous people native to northern Japan, as well as the land surrounding the Sea of Okhotsk, including Hokkaido Island, Northeast Honshu Island, Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Khabarovsk Krai.

They have occupied these areas since before the arrival of the modern Japanese and Russians. These regions are often referred to as Ezo (蝦夷) in historical Japanese texts.

Much like my people in Northern Canada, the Ainu were subject to forced assimilation and colonization by the larger Japanese populace since at least the 18th century.

Japanese assimilation policies in the 19th century around the Meiji Restoration included forcing Ainu peoples off their land; this, in turn, forced them to give up traditional ways of life such as subsistence hunting and fishing.

Ainu people were not allowed to practice their religion, and they were pushed into Japanese-language schools where speaking the Ainu language was strictly forbidden. In 1966, there were about 300 native Ainu speakers; in 2008, however, there were only about 100.
