From the latter half of 19th century, Sakhalin indigenous peoples were involved in the border conflict between Russia/USSR and Japan. In 1905-45, Karafuto government made several fisheries for indigenous peoples around 8 Ainu villages that were concentrated, and spent the profit from the fishery on indigenous policy, for example elementary schools.
Around 1927, the village Otasu for Uilta and Nivkh were made. After the WWII, the 90% of 1,200 Sakhalin Ainu and the 10% of 400 Uilta and Nivkh moved to Japan by the ships for Japanese repatriates and most of them came to stay in Hokkaido.
Above all Mr. YONEMURA Kioe (director of Municipal Museum of Abashiri) had interaction with Sakhalin indigenous peoples who lived around Abashiri. Souvenir Nipopo was got hint from doll (wooden idol) of Sakhalin Ainu, and Orochon Fire Festival that some Uilta and Nivkh people participated in the beginning is the key to the tourism in Abashiri. In this
paper, I will review the connection between these indigenous cultures and tourism in Abashiri and how the majority are committed to minority's culture.
