Statement of Akio Yanagihara, 9/1981

Japanese Americans--Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945

Japanese Americans--Civil rights

Mr. Yanagihara gave his statement before the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians at a hearing in Seattle. He describes the life of his family on Vashon Island and how they were removed to Puyallup before being sent to one of the internment camps for Japanese Americans. His statement gives specific demands for redress, including that all school children be taught how interment without due process occurred (and could occur again) in the United States.

Indians of North America--Washington (State)--Treaties

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation

In the Treaty with the Walla Walla, Cayuse, and Umatille of 1855, compensation for land was not stated in a lump sum. Rather, the government listed several sums of money to be paid at different times and to be used for specific purposes. The treaty allows special land provisions for chiefs and other specified individuals, as well as the establishment of a trading post and dedicated wagon trade road. Specific provisions were also made for land allotments, transfer of land rights, etc. Most interesting in this treaty was the change in language from the standard treaty, which states the natives wished their reservations to be free of spirits, to stating the U.S. government was preventing the “evils of intemperance.”
