Throughout the war, Van Patten collected hundreds of documents related to Japanese Americans and internment to create what he envisioned would be the strongest “Japanese-American collection” on the East Coast. zaviert2601 https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152864481 2017-02-09 18:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152864481 WRA officials overruled the Council, envisioning Poston’s infrastructure as strategic, long-term investments for the Reservation’s population post-war. zaviert2601 https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152867656 2017-02-09 18:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152867656 Until 1943, Poston was jointly operated with the Office of Indian Affairs. Poston actually consisted of three separate “units” that operated under a centralized administrative headquarters. In the midst of the Sonoran desert, Poston experienced extreme temperatures and commonplace issues with wind and dust storms. Those at Poston came mainly from Central and Southern California. zaviert2601 https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152868296 2017-02-09 18:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152868296 Tensions over camp conditions, pay delays, and community governance came to a head during the Poston Strike of November 1942. Authorities held two men in custody after an attack on a suspected WRA informant. After failed negotiations for their release, a one-week general strike was called.The disproportionate number of Poston materials at Yale may be attributed to the collection’s provenance. zaviert2601 https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152868804 2017-02-09 18:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152868804 Interview kaidenm3114 https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152869320 2017-02-09 18:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kaidenm3114/ndjk2ufqzkki/wish/152869320
