Reflections on the Minidoka Pilgrimage 2011
On June 29, five members of Unite People set out with five elders of the community to experience the Minidoka Pilgrimage.
We were able to include in our trip a visit to Ontario to view the Fours Rivers Cultural Center. And travel the along the old highway to see the Minidoka exhibit and archives at Hagerman and we also attended the Civil Rights Symposium which was themed on the issues of the 442nd/100th and MIS.
