Japan is not a single Yamato nation，There is also a minority called bet365 best casino games，originally lived in Honshu Islands，Later forced to move north，The population is now less than 20,000，Mainly distributed in northern and central Hokkaido。bet365 best casino games was called Ezo in ancient times，Speak bet365 best casino games，But no text，Live by fishing and hunting，Farming life did not begin until the Meiji era (1868-1911)。

When I first arrived in Hokkaido，We visited Hiratori Town to visit bet365 best casino games scholar Kawano Shigeru。This white-haired old man has spent his whole life studying bet365 best casino games history、Customs、Myths and legends、Folktales，Written 15 monographs in Japanese。He said the bet365 best casino games language is dying、Culture is dying、The nation is dying，As an bet365 best casino games，Every effort should be made to record the history of this nation that once existed。He said with tears，Today’s bet365 best casino games young people do not understand or do not like to speak bet365 best casino games language，Don’t even want to admit that you are an bet365 best casino games。In law，bet365 best casino games and Yamato are equal，But in fact it is not equal at all。The old man wants to use the pen in his hand to save the nation in danger，Although tragic，But the results can be imagined。

The person who greeted us in Akan was the bet365 best casino games Toyooka Seinori。His black hair hangs down his shoulders，Wavy，Dark brown eyes，Bright and bright，With a beard，The hair is long and thick，Judging from appearance，Resembling a mixture of Europeans and Mongolians。He visited China three times，Understand the history and current situation of ethnic autonomy policy，Received warm reception from all ethnic groups，Grateful to China，So we are specially invited to stay in Akan。

Stayed at his "Youdan" hotel on the first night。This is a two-story building built entirely of logs。The first floor is a hall divided into three parts。Part of it is a sofa and bench，For Western tourists；Part of it is a firepit built according to the traditional bet365 best casino games lifestyle、Hanging pot，Dried salmon hanging on the wall，The ground is covered with bearskins；Part of it is a counter，Made of birch tree stumps，With wine on it、Braid of grass and bark，Deer head hanging on the wall、Salmon、Bear relief。There is a hot spring bath in the back，The water is very hot，Exudes a strong sulfur smell。

"Yudan" means bet365 best casino games tribe，But actually this is a lakeside villa。Everyone sat by the firepit in the evening，Light a charcoal fire，Eat venison cooked in hanging pot，There are also mashed potatoes mixed with salmon roe、Sashimi、Wild vegetables、rice cake、Red beans and rice。Toyooka said this is a meal used by the bet365 best casino games to entertain distinguished guests。Toyooka is a successful entrepreneur，He has a car、Yacht、Hotels and shops，Has more than a dozen employees，Visited more than 30 countries，Investigating the situation of ethnic minorities，Want to find a way to survive for the bet365 best casino games people。

Arriving at Akan Town the next day，Living at home in Toyooka。bet365 best casino games also a three-story building built with huge logs，Named Universe House。The first floor is a craft shop，The second floor is a karaoke dance hall，The third floor is housing。

Toyooka has nine children，The older one is 13 years old，The little one is only a few months old。Home is like a kindergarten，Children have fun，Some climb，Some cry，Some call it，Very lively。The lady is very thin，Not much to say，Looking exhausted。Toyooka looks at his group of children，It’s like appreciating your own work of art，Very intoxicated。He said: "For the reproduction bet365 best casino games race，Just have more children。”

　Eight o'clock in the evening，bet365 best casino games village holds bonfire party。In a large thatched shed that can accommodate more than a hundred people，Men and women in national costumes perform singing and dancing。Dance mostly expresses fishing and hunting life，Simulating beast movements。The musical instrument is extremely simple，Blow a piece of bamboo into your mouth，And clap to accompany。Simple tune，Bright and intense rhythm。Dozens of artifacts symbolizing various gods are hung on the walls of the hut。bet365 best casino games people believe in mountain gods、Water God、Tree God、God、Wind God、Rain God... They believe that everything in nature has a soul，All are equal。

The bonfire outside is lit，Tourists and bet365 best casino games young men and women sang and danced around the bonfire。

I leave the noisy crowd，Walking alone in the village。bet365 best casino games small street several hundred meters long is obviously not a natural village，It is a specially built tourist attraction。The residents here mainly rely on selling handicrafts、Open a hotel、Performing singing and dancing to spend the day。Entrepreneurs like Seinori Toyooka，Maybe the only one in bet365 best casino games village。

This area was originally the territory of the Japanese noble Mitsuko Maeda。After the development of Hokkaido，The natural environment has changed，The bear that the bet365 best casino games people depend on for survival、Deer、Fish are decreasing year by year，Difficulty in survival。Maeda Mitsuko to help them，Provide them with land to open shops and do business，No rent charge，So this small village was born。

A wise man from the bet365 best casino games tribe，Do your best to resist being completely assimilated。Some accumulate capital，Produce descendants，Join the election，Strive for the right to speak politically；Some have written books，Rescuing history and culture，Protect national traditions，Educate future generations，Don’t forget your roots；Some raise children，Send them to the best university，Learn cutting-edge science and technology，For the survival and development of the nation，Looking for a new world。Anyway，They use different methods，Everyone does his best，Working hard，Exploring the future of the nation，But what’s the future?，Where is the road，Unknown。

The blazing bonfire is extinguished，The noise of singing has also fallen silent。Tourists are getting bet365 best casino games bus，Leave the village，Go to a star-rated hotel run by Yamato people to rest。Shops bet365 best casino games street turn off lights and close，The village has returned to calm。
