In the wake of the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, roughly 110,000 Japanese Americans were relocated to internment camps across the United States as part of Executive Order 9066. Colorado Governor Ralph Carr, going against popular anti-Japanese sentiment, fought to bring a camp to Colorado, where he felt its internees would be safe from harm.

After the Pearl Harbor bombing, Japanese-Americans were sent to war relocation camps and were forced to leave their homes and bring only their needed belongings. There were ten major centers, but more specifically, we were asked to learn about the Granada War Relocation Center in Colorado. Something we thought was interesting was that the center, also called "Amache", was named after the daughter of the Cheyenne Chief Ochi-nee. We were surprised to learn that the rooms at the camp were rushed, so the conditions were bad. Since the internees weren't allowed to bring their things, they had to make their own shelves and crude furniture made from already discarded wood.
