Scope and content |
This file consists of correspondence between T.G. Norris, Eikichi Kagetsu, and multiple government officials concerning Kagetsu's dissatisfaction with the Bird Commission's results and the possibility for appeal. Member of Parliament Angus MacInnis plays a large role in advocating for reconsideration of Kagetsu's case. Also included are discussions of preliminary arguments for possible reconsideration
(e.g., the discrepancy between how much timber MacMillan has cut since the Custodian's sale versus how much timber was determined to be on Kagetsu's property during the hearing).

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.
