These discriminated people, are they the burakumin?

It's unlikely. The story refers to them as the native people of that land, and burakumin were generally just people who worked "dirty" jobs, like butchers, tanners, undertakers, etc. The story never referred to them as burakumin, so... Throughout its history, Japan has been cruel to native people as well (such as the Ainu), so it's a slightly different type of discrimination in this case.

I know about Japan's discrimination towards the Ainu. What I mean is, this story makes me think if the burakumin people these days are actually descendants of the native people, who were discriminated and had to do the dirty jobs, then later in the younger generation they married the non Ainu, but their descendants live in and couldn't get out of this vicious cycle? I haven't studied about burakumin people as much. There was an area in where I lived in Mie that looked like a slum. We always wondered if the area they lived was a burakumin area. I feel sad about these people.
