1593: Tsuna Tateishi
Tsuna Tateishi
She was born on 2 June 1874. Her occupation is listed as housewife. Her file lists
two husbands, both deceased at time of file: Yoshigoro Nitsui and Iwamatsu Tateishi.
The file states that the name on her passport is Tsuna Tateishi, but that she came
to Canada to join her son who was adopted into his wife’s family and that she now
uses that family name (Nitsui) “in accordance with Japanese custom.” The name she
used was Tsuna Nitsui. Her home address is listed as Prince Rupert, BC. She was forcibly
uprooted to Slocan City, BC. No seized property is listed in the file.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
