                        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.
