This is an incredible opportunity; thank you so much for sharing this with us! I RSVP'd for the January “Life in Minidoka Concentration Camp” session and I am curious to see what life was like in addition to how this affected the Asian-American experience and collective identity. I immigrated to the US and wondered what Asian-American meant for a long time. How do these events shape a racial identity that is often split along ethnic lines, that is constantly evolving and including new waves of immigrants like me who are informed by separate circumstances than the more established families already living in America?

I am interested in learning more about the Minidoka Cencentration Camps. My family is of Japanese decent and I am excited to hear more about this piece of history that I am not super familiar with. Thank you for connecting us with this opportunity. I really appreciate it.

I am interested in learning more about Minidoka. My parents were held there as teens. Early in my life, no one wanted to talk about it so I knew it happened but really didn't hear personal stories about what life was like. About 20 years ago, the elders in my family began to talk about what it was like for them. My father was in a Boy Scout troop and they got permission to go on a camping trip out in the desert. My Grandma learned to sew and crochet from other ladies in the camp. My uncle was born there. My mother won't eat lamb to this day because they were fed mutton often.

It was also a rather harrowing time for their families as they were hustled out of Seattle and taken to the Puyallup fairgrounds. They slept in the parking lot then got an animal stall for the family to live in while they waited to go to ID.

I am looking forward to hearing more at this presentation.
