For Mr. Shears

Complaint

Welling Alberta September 29, 1947

Dept. of the Sec. of State,

Japanese Evacuation Section,

Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:

I received the cheque for the sum of $827.92, for the sale of my land, house, etc. I find this cheque does not reach anywhere near the sum I value my properties, and am therefore returning it.

Yours truly,

Tsuneki Sassa

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.
