4 Untold Story Senate Bill 2678: continued from page 1 Preserving Honouliuli

The inaugural meeting of the Honouliuli Site Advisory Committee took place Friday, October 12 at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i. The meeting was convened by Pua Aiu, administrator to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, the agency designated by SB2678 to develop recommendations to leverage county, state, federal and private funds for an educational resource center at Honouliuli. In addition to the representative from the State Historic Preservation Division, members of the committee include Suzanne Falgout, University of Hawai‘i—West O‘ahu; Jacee Mikulanec, Japanese American Citizens League—Honolulu Chapter; Kiersten Faulkner, the Hawai‘i internees. The narrative that was Historic Hawai‘i Foundation; Alan Takemoto, Monsanto; Ronald presented to the Yonsei generation was simply, Ching, appointed by the house speaker and Senator Carol Fukunaga, “There was no mass internment in Hawai‘i, just a few hundred people who were rounded up and appointed by the president of the state senate. JCCH President sent to the mainland.” Carole Hayashino was in attendance to co-chair the meeting with Administrator Aiu. As I researched the stories of the Hawai‘i internees and began to hear about the injustice that they The work of the advisory group is to complement JCCH’s ongoing suffered, I realized that it did not matter if that work to preserve Honouliuli and the wartime experience of Japanese number was 2,000 or 120,000.

There are very few Americans in Hawai‘i.” For more information on Hawai‘i’s internment photographs and no known motion picture footage sites visit our website at www.jcch.com. of the camps and confinement sites in Hawai‘i. I realized that we would need to do a great deal of historical reenactments using actors, so that the audience can see and feel what the internees experienced. The reenactments follow the writings of the internees Yasutaro Soga and Otokichi Ozaki, as well as the oral histories of Sam Nishimura and Harry Urata. We reenacted specific events that happened at four of the Hawai‘i sites: the U.S. Immigration Station, the Sand Island Detention Facility, Kilauea Military Camp, and the Honouliuli Internment Camp. The actors and crew remarked at how powerful and emotional this part of the project was. For a brief moment we felt their fear, their anger, their sadness, and then their spirit of ganbare. We felt what it was like to walk in their shoes. ge d Nearly two and a half years later as we wrap up
