(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota’s United Tribes Technical College celebrated the completion of a memorial for the nearly 2,000 Japanese Americans imprisoned there during World War II.
The monument — titled the Snow Country Prison Japanese American Internment Memorial — displays the names of the 1,850 Japanese Americans who were detained on the property.
It’s named after a haiku written by Itaru Ina, who was held prisoner there from 1945 to 1946.
Before the tribal college in Bismarck existed, the property was known as the Fort Lincoln military post. It was used as a prison camp for Japanese Americans and German nationals during World War II.
