SUMMARY:Seattle Keiro Nursing Home Donor Plaques Available
DESCRIPTION:Back in the late 80s through early 90s\, Nikkei Concerns received many generous contributions towards the construction of Seattle Keiro skilled nursing facility. That support made an invaluable impact on our community in the care of our elders. Although evolving community needs and circumstances led to the closure of the skilled nursing facility in 2019\, the support for Nikkei Concerns at that time played a crucial role in making that endeavor possible.\nWe would like to offer you the opportunity to have your/your loved one’s donor plaque from Seattle Keiro returned to you as a memento of your legacy contribution. Please contact the Board’s assistant\, Karlee Hicks\, at khicks@keironw.org or 206-571-2550 to arrange pick-up at Nikkei Manor\, 700 6th Ave S\, Seattle between Sept 1st – Oct 31st.

SUMMARY:Curator's Fellowship: Forgotten Dolls\, Remembered Stories
DESCRIPTION:For the past few months\, Curator’s Fellow Polly Yorioka has been conducting extensive research in the MOHAI collection. \nPolly has focused her research on the history and significance of the Boy’s and Girl’s Day sets given to Bailey Gatzert Elementary School at the time of the WWII Japanese incarceration. \nOn October 23\, she will present her research in her Curator’s Fellow Lecture: Forgotten Dolls\, Remembered Stories\, detailing the experiences of Japanese children who struggled with their American identity while unjustly incarcerated\, as seen through the dolls they left behind.\nQ&A with 2024 Curator’s Fellow\, Polly Yorioka\nWhat made you interested in researching this topic? \n​I was immediately interested in this topic because it ​connects ​to ​my ​own family history. ​My ​grandparents ​went ​to ​Bailey Gatzert Elementary School. ​My ​grandmother ​would ​always ​tell ​me ​about ​the Girls’ Day ​dolls ​that ​she ​had ​growing ​up\, which she had ​to ​leave ​behind ​when ​the ​war ​broke ​out. ​She said that ​was ​one ​of ​her ​biggest ​losses ​in ​her ​life—out ​of ​all ​the ​things ​they ​left ​behind\, she ​would ​always think about her dolls. ​So\, ​when ​I ​saw ​that ​there were sets of dolls in the MOHAI ​collection ​and ​that ​they ​were ​from ​ Bailey Gatzert ​Elementary ​School\, ​I ​was ​really ​excited ​to ​learn ​more. \nWhat is the most surprising thing you’ve learned working on this project? \nI ​was ​surprised ​by ​how ​much ​information ​there already ​is ​about students at Bailey Gatzert Elementary School. ​There are ​a ​lot ​of ​stories ​that ​have ​been ​preserved\, ​which ​is ​really ​nice ​to ​see—especially ​because ​so ​many ​people ​in ​these situations ​didn’t ​really ​want ​to ​talk ​about ​those ​things.\nWhat makes MOHAI the right place for you to do this research? \nI ​think ​one ​of ​the really great ​things ​that MOHAI ​does ​is ​tie together the ​history ​of ​the ​city and ​​different ​communities together with technology and industry. ​That ​long ​history ​of ​being ​willing ​to ​tell ​stories ​that ​people ​aren’t always ​talking ​about\, ​especially ​in ​the ​Japanese community\, makes this the perfect place to do this research. ​It’s really ​exciting ​to ​get ​to ​be ​​part ​of ​MOHAI’s ​legacy.\nWhat do you hope people take away from your presentation later this month? \nOne ​of ​the ​big ​reasons this ​story ​is ​important ​is ​that ​it ​connects​ to ​a ​lot ​of ​things ​in ​present ​day. ​I’ve ​been ​reflecting ​a ​lot on the ​danger ​of ​misinformation. ​Thinking ​about ​how\, ​at ​the ​time\, ​everyone ​was ​so ​afraid ​of ​the ​Japanese ​and ​supported ​sending that community ​away. ​Even ​the ​children\, who ​clearly ​couldn’t ​be ​enemies ​of ​the ​state. \nSo\, ​I ​think ​that ​as ​we ​do ​this ​kind ​of ​work\, ​it ​encourages people to think\, “​what ​are ​the ​stories ​I’m ​hearing ​now ​that ​might ​not ​be ​true?” ​And hopefully ​people ​realize that ​we ​can ​do ​things ​differently ​when ​given the chance.

SUMMARY:Save Minidoka Virtual Community Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Minidoka survivors\, descendants and allies are fighting to protect the Minidoka National Historic Site in Idaho from the Biden Administration’s Lava Ridge wind project. A unit of the National Park System\, Minidoka tells the stories of the forced incarceration of Japanese Americans and Alaska Natives during World War II and the courage and sacrifice of Nisei veterans and those who resisted. For nearly 25 years\, Minidoka has served as a place to learn\, heal and share our stories. \nBecause it was sited near a railroad line\, Minidoka is located in a network of current and planned transmission lines. Earlier this year\, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) chose a preferred alternative for the Lava Ridge wind project that would have “disproportionately high and adverse impacts on the Japanese American community and Tribes.” After the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation sends its comments to BLM on or before October 21\, BLM is expected to make a final decision this fall. \nPlease join us and Densho on Thursday\, October 24th at 12pm PT for a virtual meeting and update. Learn how we can protect Asian American and Alaska Native heritage from a massive wind project with 241 turbines covering over 100\,000 acres. With your help\, we can protect Minidoka for current and future generations.
