 edicated to ensuring the story of Japanese Canadians arriving in Niagara w
 as not misunderstood as a story of new immigrants\, she mobilized the comm
 unity with the help of Tom Matsushita to author this book of insightful or
 al history interviews published in 1999. What distinguishes these oral his
 tories\, is the intentional structure which brings to light\, the essence 
 of what it meant to be dispossessed and uprooted into a hostile environmen
 t. \n\nThe Toronto NAJC has been closely involved with the <em>Exiles <
 /em>project. Last spring the Toronto NAJC hosted a reception and artist ta

 family history of internment into her art and suggested her work would mak
 e a compelling companion piece to the <em>Exiles</em> exhibit. We think 
 you will appreciate the artistry\, sensibility\, and care of Emma's solo e
 xhibit G<em>enerations of an Archive </em>which runs concurrently. \n\
 n \nPlease share this information with those you know who spent time in t
 he Niagara region. Many JC families passed through the Niagara region in t
 he 1940s and were farm\, factory\, and domestic workers. \n\nNote that a
  JC Wellness Outreach worker will be available to assist Survivors with ap
 plying for Survivor Grants.\n\nFull details are at <a href="https://toron
