The community started with a \u201cKamuinomi\u201d, a traditional Ainu ceremony of offering prayers to the gods. After the Kamuinomi had been completed, community members performed an \u201cIcharpa,\u201d a ceremony for honoring the ancestors. We were invited to participate in the Icharpa and I was honored to be included. \u00a0After both these solemn ceremonies were completed, members of the community performed traditional dances. I have participated in Ainu ceremonies such as these before, and I always feel honored to be included and to watch how Ainu communities continue to keep their traditions alive.<\/p>\n<p><small>*Note:<br \/>\nThe Raporo Ainu Nation is an organization of the Ainu in Urahoro Town, a former Urahoro Ainu Association.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c45210;\">*** In &#8220;Memoirs&#8221; we introduce a glimpse of GSI members&#8217; experiences in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Memoir (1) by Professor Joe Watkins, University of Arizona, USA On Sunday, August 21, 2022, Carol Ellick (Arc <span class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/memoirs\/raporo-ainu-nation-kamuinomi-and-icharpa-at-atsunai.html\">read more<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/981"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=981"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":989,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/981\/revisions\/989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/gi-core.oia\/gsi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
