Heart Mountain, Wyoming and the Japanese American Incarceration

Within months of the December 7, 1941, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, over 110,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of them native-born U.S. citizens, were forced from their homes on the West Coast and sent to ten incarceration sites in California, the interior west, and Arkansas. In July 2020, through a Landmarks of American History and Culture grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation will host two week-long educator workshops to illuminate this national historical event. July 19 - July 24, 2020 and July 26 - July 31, 2020
