History Question

Put yourself in the shoes of an Ainu person who lived through the extension of the boundaries of the old Tokugawa regime to include your ancestral homelands. How might your life change on an everyday level? How might you respond, either individually or collectively to this imposition of colonial rule over you?
***As a general rule of thumb, this medium post should be no longer than 500? words.
? ? Please make sure to address the Meiji regime’s nation-building policies as expressed in the readings and lectures? ?
Think about how Ainu people would have experienced the imposition of settler-colonial policies on their lands. What aspects of their lives would have changed immediately? Which would not? The last question about how you might respond to these changes is a speculative one?—?given the options at your disposal and your own proclivities, how might you decide to respond and why? When you reference primary documents like the Meiji era unification documents or the Former Natives Protection Law, please be as specific as possible and use quotes from the texts as much as possible.
When you reference secondary documents like Fujitani or Komori, please make sure to provide attribution in some way: you can either say something like: “As Fujitani argues on p. XX, the imperial progress were designed to establish national unity through the emperor…”

Content that does not add to the conversation (congratulating, repeating, agreeing, providing feedback on their writing, etc.) will not be considered for scoring. This is due Monday at 11:59pm.

All submitted content must be included in the post (no links or attachments). Posts must use proper spelling and grammar. Restatements or quotes of the prompt do not contribute to the word count. You may quote from the readings, but the total quoted material must be no more than 20% of the post’s word count. All quotes must appear between quotation marks and must include the page number(s) where the quote is found. Review this website to see some of the actions that constitute plagiarism.
