Overview<\/h4>\n

During WWII, President Roosevelt\u2019s Executive Order 9066 resulted in approximately 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry to be forcibly removed from their homes on the West Coast, then incarcerated in government-built concentration camps. Two of the ten War Relocation Camps were located in Arizona, notably on American Indian reservation lands. 13,000+ incarcerees were \u201crelocated\u201d to the Rivers confinement site on the Gila River Indian Reservation, with 18,000 sent to Poston located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation. Through the analysis of primary and secondary sources, including multimedia and maps, participants explore the intersecting histories and geographical perspectives of Japanese Americans imprisoned in these camps and the Indigenous communities on whose lands the U.S. government built them. This culturally responsive lesson appeals to educators of Geography, US History, and AP Human Geography, serving as a case study for Population, Migration and Political Geography.<\/p>\n
