The 3rd Ainu Oratorical Contest (Nov 28, 1999)
|
"Itakan Ro (Let's speak)" in Ainu
Currently, there are language schools in 14 regions within
Hokkaido, not to mention others in regions such as Kanto, where many people
study the Ainu language - a language unique to the Ainu people.
The Ainu Oratorical Contest is held to give students the opportunity
to show each other what they have studied, to communicate and exchange
information with people from other areas studying the language in the same
way, and to bring people of the local community where it is held, in touch
with the Ainu language and culture.
In this Third Contest, there were 27 participants, competing
in 17 groups from various areas of Hokkaido and even from Aichi Prefecture,
widely ranging from primary school students to people in their 50's. A
large audience, including local people, attended. Performances covered
various genres as in the last contest - skits, literature and speech.
