(4) 4-6 First Peoples series. This book shows how the Ainu lived in prehistoric times through the present. Today, fewer than two hundred thousand Ainu survive, and much of their culture and language has been forgotten. The book discusses the tribe's island home, subsistence economy, daily life, and traditions. Enhanced by color photos, the simple text is sketchy and occasionally redundant. Lists of websites and organizations are appended. Bib., glos., ind.
