Minidoka was designated a unit of the National Park Service on January 17th, 2001. Please join us this January 17th as we commemorate the 20th anniversary of Minidoka National Historic Site through a day of conversations with survivors, partners, and the trailblazers who made it possible to establish the NPS unit, the Minidoka Pilgrimage, and the Friends of Minidoka.
Join us for a panel discussion to talk about the beginning and evolution of the Minidoka Pilgrimage with Anna Tamura, Dale Watanabe, Stephen Kitajo, and Gloria Shigeno.
