I thought to bring this in this morning, but hap-hap/iyayraykere for this years earlier.

Project Okikirmui » The complete Ainu legends of Chiri Yukie, in English

The Project is dedicated to making Ainu literature available in English. We have translated Chiri Yukie’s 1922 collection ‘Ainu Shinyoushuu’ into English, including the famous song of the owl god, ‘Silver drops fall all around, golden drops fall all around’.

Here is an online archive of Chiri Yukie’s collection of yukar, available for free.
