The Chinese immigrants had to work hard to build the Canadian pacific railway even though over 600 immigrants died, but the Canadian pacific railway let the mountain police travel from one place to another quickly which was a good thing.

During World War II, 120,000 Japanese people were incarcerated and placed inside Concentration Camps, also known as Interment Camps.

They weren't allowed to leave and were treated quite harshly, but the Japanese-Americans tried their best to make it feel like home for them.

Some contributions they made: They contributed with resource industries such as fishing, forestry, mining and farming.

Discrimination: They were shunned and cast aside because of what a small part of them did. Many didn't know what they had done. So, everything about these camps was discrimination.

Thank you

From 1881 to 1884, more than 17,000 Chinese men arrived to Canada to work on a railway, as they were poor, starving and needed some form of support.

Although the work paid next to nothing, it was something. This was also extremely dangerous work, and many died.

After the railroad had been built, some Chinese left, but many stayed and instead sought different jobs out, such as tree chopping, or starting their own businesses! These are some contributions.

Some discrimination they faced were, for example, being paid very little compared to others.

Discrimination: During WW2, Japan and the Axis was at war with Canada and the Allies, so the Canadians forced Japanese people in Canada to go to internment camps even though they weren't part of the war.

Contribution: the Japanese mainly contributed in the resource industries such as fishing, forestry, mining, and farming.

# data[].attributes.body
Discrimination:nearly 40 years after the Japanese-Americans were first interned and 35 years after they were released, those who had been placed in the poorest camp (Rohwer, in Arkansas) still earned 17 percent less than those placed in the camp in the most affluent region.

The Canadian government discriminated against the Indian people by not letting them enter Canada even though they followed the law of coming on a ship without any stops just because the Canadian government wanted to keep the black people out of Canada. Even though the Indians Brang spices and new food to Canadas culture.

Discrimination :in 1881 to 1884 , around 17,000 chinese people went to canada to work on the railway, they were usually paid $1 a day. Building the railway was very dangerous and many people died from illnes, exhaustion and many more. Between 600 - 4000 people died. After they finish building they were not allow to go into canada unless they pay $10, but soon the head tax raised up to $50 then to $100 which is not fair.

Contributions :Jobs included clearing the bush, digging wells and working as shepherds in new properties.

Discrimination: The Canadians didn't let the passengers from the Komagata Maru get of the ship and enter Canada. Even though 4 people could enter Canada the rest had to go back to India as there was a law passed that said you could not stop at a port if you wanted to enter Canada.

Their contribution: India brought many spices and a new religion to Canada and made it a more diverse country which invited many other cultures.

During the world war 2, the Japanese Americians were captured into Interment camps. They were not allowed to leave and were treated toughly. This shows that the Japanese Americans gone through big discriminations, as the worse part is that they were not even part of the war. They even contributed by farming,30 fishing, and even mining. They had to stay there for 40 years and then they will be released.

The Komagata Maru Incident was a terrible catastrophe. The Candians said that people couldn't come directly to Canada, port-to-port. They had to have stopped at another port first.

One man decided this was unfair. His name was Baba Gurdit Singh, and he, along with 376 other passengers, boarded the Komagata Maru, a ship, which went to CANADA!

Unfortunately, they weren't allowed onto the Canadian dock, and floated in the ship, on the water, for three months before getting sent away. Only about 24 people were allowed off the boat, and the rest could only go home. None of them made it to Canada.

While on the water, some passengers threw coal and bricks at the officers, and when they got off in India, they were viewed as law-breakers and imprisoned.

Supposedly 26 died from getting shot by the police.

This is our history, our ugly history, and we need to know this so we won't repeat it.

Some contributions they made: They challenged Canada's racist and exclusionary immigration policies.

And I just told you about the discrimination.

Thank you.
