Japanese Canadian National Museum Traveling Education Kits
“Journeys I” is an education kit for the intermediate grades
and “Journeys II” for the secondary grades. They provide tangible
evidence of events for students to “handle”. They include study
prints and archival materials (photographs, documents, letters, registration
cards, posters), literary works, a model of an internment shack, videos, reference
books for teachers, and some household items.
The materials are a valuable resource for teachers of Language Arts, Literature
Circles, Social Studies and those interested in the promotion of social responsibility
and global citizenship. They can be used in celebration of the growth and development
of human rights, anti-racism, multiculturalism and citizenship in Canada.
“Journeys” can be booked by contacting the Japanese Canadian National
Museum (see right sidebar).
Japanese Canadian National Museum Class Visit Programme
Student tours are designed to be experiential. They combine a visit to an
exhibition of some aspects of Japanese Canadian history, a viewing of a video
on the internment and exile from a child’s perspective, a talk by a survivor
of an internment camp, a taste of Japanese food and a small group tutorial
on craft-making. The programme can be adapted in consultation with teachers
to meet the particular needs of a class. The tours can be booked by contacting
the Japanese Canadian National Museum (see right sidebar).

“Il faut se rappeler ce qu'a été le dossier des Japonais. Ce sont des groupes ethniques qui ont été spoliés de leurs biens, arrachés à leurs terres, internés durant toute la guerre avec leurs familles, et qui n'ont jamais pu, après, obtenir le remboursement de leurs biens qui avaient été vendus à des tiers, et les profits ayant été empochés par d'autres. C'était une situation particulièrement odieuse, M. le Président, c'était une grande tache.".
