Is that the real life of Ainu?

How to carve out the table ware from the trunk of the trees were explained on the wall of the showcase. But these kinds of textiles made of gold and silver strings were brought from the main island of Japan, I think.
Some necklaces with blue stones seemed to be made of turquoise but I've never heard of turquoise produced in Hokkaido before, so they may be brought from the main island of Japan. 
I have seen the senior leaders of the tribes used these wooden sticks to conduct the rituals to appreciate the godsend but they are not chopsticks. As a priest, they use the sticks to share the food with the deities around them.
