Santa Fe Japanese American Prison Camp

Telling The Untold Story

By Janine Fujioka (Draft #1, 06.27.19)

My working theme/title is:  What Don't You Know About The Japanese Prison Camp at Santa Fe?  Why Don't You Know About It?  How Do You Stop The Lies and Denial?  How Do You Uncover The Buried Past As You Decolonize The Digital Archive?

Outline

My pedagogical perspectives on the incorporation of digital technology into the teaching of Asian Pacific American History

1.    Step-by-step method

2.    State a goal, a problem, a research question

3.    State the significance (why is this research question important to you?)

4.    State the explanation (why you’re doing this project; what you hope to get from it)

5.    Who is your audience?

6.    Digital Commonplace Book (Palmeri, p.111)

7.    Interviews – Primary Research

8.    Secondary Research – Archival Research

9.    Field Trip

10. Annotated Bibliography

11. End Result – Mulitmodal Project Video – Research Video

I will create a Digital Video tailored for a specific audience.  At this early juncture, I will communicate my personal teaching philosophy through multimodal writing, of course, but to do it vis-a-vis a DEMO of the investigative process centered around a research question. This DEMO would directly apply to my students' project work in Asian American History, and something I can show in class in Oakland.

I am thinking -- this would be a type of "lesson plan" that would be useful as a DEMO, and one that I could take back to my school.  For example, as a Japanese American living in Santa Fe for the Bread Loaf summer, I am naturally drawn to the Santa Fe Detention Facility.  Here's a reliable resource and link: 

http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Santa_Fe_(detention_facility)/

So, for the final Technology Project, I would record the research and inquiry process, show how to retrieve archival photos and data, do an interview (if possible) and go to the actual site as a field trip, etc., etc. for the Santa Fe Japanese Prison.  The personal relevance is that my parents as children, my grandparents, great-grandparents and other family members were incarcerated during WWII in California and Arizona. Perhaps the Santa Fe facility is an untold story that needs telling at Bread Loaf.
