Tenmi Aoyama

Tenmi Aoyama

The kanji given in the directory for the first name is slightly different than the one inputted but it is the closest looking one that could be found. However, the reading is different than what is probably the person's name because the phone number and address match with a Mrs. Tomiko Aoyama from the English directory.

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.
