Advisory Committee, the United Church); discussions on the injustice of these policies
(e.g., coercion in the signing of the "voluntary repatriation" forms is discussed
as well as reasons for which those did sign, such as wanting to stay in British Columbia); discussions of the unemployment and placement of those being deported; general
correspondence on the "repatriation" and "relocation" procedures (e.g., maintenance,
transportation); drafts of the Prime Minister's statement on these policies; letters
refusing "repatriation"; correspondence regarding the legal test cases for the validity

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.
