Michiko Watanabe

Her family includes Koto Watanabe (mother), Shosaku Watanabe (father), and Nagako Watanabe (sister). Her home address is listed as 905 East Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC.

A memorandum in the file indicates that the administration of this file “is being dealt with” on file 06789, which appears to be the file for her mother.

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.
