天理敎 會

天理敎 會

The kanji have the meanings of heaven, truth, teaching, and company and in the BC Yukon directory of 1941 reverend is listed at this address, so it seems likely that this entry is associated with a religious association. I used Heaven's Teachings for the English entry because I felt that that was the central idea that the kanji was representing.

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.
