Scope and content
This file contains representations and resolutions regarding the treatment of Japanese Canadians post war. It includes several petitions from "repatriates" to Japan (many of which reference loss of property) and correspondence regarding the disposal of Japanese Canadian property and the property of those deported. However, not all of the correspondence within dates from the "post-war" period. Included are a number of letters from before the forced liquidation order, proposing the deportation of all Japanese Canadians, and in some cases, directly advocating the liquidation of property.

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.
