| Scope and content |
This is an official list from the Tonomura’s voyage to Canada in July 1962. After
being forcibly deported (or "repatriated") from Canada in the 1940s and re-building
their life in Japan, the family returned to Canada in 1962. Canada would be their
final home. The ship was named the Arcadia, run by the P&O Orient line. Someone has
written “Mom and Dad’s” on the cover of the booklet. On the first page, there is a
black and white photograph of the ship. On July 19, 1962, the ship left Hong Kong
for North America. This was stored within a green envelope dated 19 July 1962.

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.
