to the Government of Canada regarding the treatment of Japanese Canadians during wartime. Records primarily concern
agitation over the Japanese presence in fishing industries and the implementation
of internment and repatriation policies. Also included is correspondence expressing
suspicions of Japanese Canadian loyalty and calling for their removal (much of which
demonstrates the fervent anti-Japanese sentiments of the time), as well as correspondence
advocating against unjust treatment (e.g., the United Church of Canada).

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.
