Scope and content |
This file contains Kosaburo Shimizu's notes from his trip in 1943 to Alberta "settlements." These notes speak to conditions endured by Japanese Canadians, farming,
education, and re-settlement or "relocation" to eastern Canada. Of particular note is a handwritten list titled "How are our friends doing in the
east?," which highlights inner attitudes of resentment, feelings of uncertainty, despair,
hopelessness, and assimilation.

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.
