 == Flag == 

 Do the Ainu people have a common flag?  I have a poster map of the world that shows a flag labelled ""Ainu"".  There is an image of it here: 
 [Map] (it's near the end of the flags section at the bottom). 

 == 'Totem' poles == 

 I have read somewhere that the Ainu erected poles not unlike Native American totem poles.  Any know if this is correct?  What was the significance of these poles?  Is this worth adding to the culture section?"
