To my knowledge America and Canada generally don't pretend that the Natives don't exist. It's more like having a Turkish movie about the Armenian Genocide or something. I'm not familiar with Golden Kamui or any of that, so it might be that younger people or popular culture aren't as bad as I thought the whole country is.

What do you mean by younger generation? The first Ainu character I remember seeing is from the video game Samurai Showdown which came out over 20 years ago. And there's also Shaman King which was a fairly popular shounen series that's over a decade old that had an Ainu character introduced near the very beginning. I'm sure if I really cared to, I could find more examples, but that's all I can come up with off the top of my head. Ainu in anime is not a new thing.
