The Minidoka National Historic Site was officially established in 2001 as part of the National Park Service after years of Japanese American advocacy. This exhibition celebrates 25 years of preservation at this site where many Nikkei from Oregon and Washington were incarcerated during World War II. Artwork by survivors, descendants, and Japanese American youth explore the park’s history and its importance as a site of memory.

Minidoka on Our Minds was created in partnership with the National Park Service and is generously supported by the JA Community Foundation, Ronald W Naito MD Foundation, Betty Lou Roberts Fund of Oregon Community Foundation, and Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation.
