[Click on the image to see a larger version.] Hunt High School at Minidoka produced an annual yearbook, just like any other typical American high school. The 1945 edition (the last produced) dedicated several pages to Hunt High alumni who had headed to war. This page lists some of those alumni and includes a statement honoring their service. From the Okita Family Collection. To view more photos from this collection, please visit our Flickr page. Camp art
A popular pastime in the World War II internment camps was making art and crafts. Many items were made from extra scraps of materials or found items in the area. This print depicts the water tower at Minidoka and was made by a student of Fumiko Haraguchi Kato at Hunt High School in Minidoka. To view more photos from this collection, please visit our Flickr page. Issei forms and cards, donated in 2011
This card shows that issei Kanichi Endo cleared medical inspection on April 8, 1914, in Yokohama, Japan. Japanese immigrants were required to pass health inspections before departing Japan, as well as during the voyage and after arriving in the United States.

Help preserve Nikkei history
The story of Japanese Americans is one that must be told and retold by each generation. Do you have old photos taken in the internment camps? Art, poetry, or writing created by the Issei? The Legacy Center collects Nikkei artifacts and historical documents for our exhibits and presentations. Please help us preserve our past. Search through your old drawers and family albums. We would like to borrow them long enough to make copies. The original print will be returned to you, unless you wish to donate it for our collection. For each photo, please note: We greatly appreciate your help in this effort. For more information or to donate an item to our collection, please contact the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center:
