The book explores the Moriyama's family history from Haru's childhood, emmigration to Canada, marriage to her husband Toyoki Moriyama, the Moriyama family experiences from 1914-1941, and the integration of Japanese culture into Canadian society.

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.
