Minidoka Pilgrimage to Minidoka Incarceration Camp in Idaho

Community Event
In Person

Date: June 19, 2014 – June 22, 2014


In 1942, close to 13,000 people of Japanese-ancestry, many of whom were American citizens, were removed from their homes in the Pacific Northwest and sent to a desolate “incarceration camp" near Twin Falls, Idaho.

This summer, the 11th pilgrimage will take place with former incarcerees, their families, and friends - from Seattle, Portland and across the nation - to the former Minidoka Camp in Idaho.  This is an opportunity to learn, share memories, and ask questions about the Minidoka experience.  Consider participating as a way to bring your family together and reconnect with friends.  Participation is limited.

Dates: Thursday, June 19, 2014 to Sunday, June 22, 2014
