Did you know Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation had a (short-lived) ceramics program? ☕️ If you or your loved ones know anything about the Heart Mountain ceramics program, please contact Hana C. Maruyama & Jason Oliver Chang at [email protected].

There's more on its way, too.

We are deeply saddened at the passing of Professor Gary Okihiro. Gary was a teacher, mentor, activist, and friend to several generations of scholars. He was a beloved and vital presence in the building of our Association and of the field itself.

The complex weave of community stewardship(through 30 years of high school students), and the survivor and descendant community working together to preserve and protect the Amache site is a truly extraordinary story.

It took a combined effort by local residents, former incarcerees and their families and members of Congress from both parties to make the former prison camp at Amache a National Park Service site.
