| Scope and content |
This file contains three documents that are loosely related to the dispossession of
Japanese Canadians. The first document is a report by John Shirras of the BC Provincial Police. Shirras complains that the vacuum in Richmond and surrounding fisheries after the evacuation of Japanese Canadians has been filled
by “Indians” who “cause much more trouble than the Japanese.” The second document
contains a similar lament about the situation in Steveston. Finally, the last document is a brief memo on the appointment of a Mr. Gillett to
the British Columbia Security Commission.

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.
