Video Oral Histories

We are deeply grateful to the descendants of the Tuna Canyon Detention Station who have provided valuable historical and personal information about Tuna Canyon during interviews conducted by June Berk, Project Director. With assistance from Dr. Russell Endo, retired University of Colorado Professor and descendant, interviewees were able to read documents from the National Archives. Full length interviews are only available with permission.

The Legacy Project is funded by the National Park Service Japanese American Confinement Sites grant. We are grateful to the Japanese American National Museum Watase Media Center for filming and archiving the collection.
