Please join Special Collections & Archives to celebrate the opening of this year’s exhibition in the Elisabeth Remak-Honnef Center for Archival Research and Training (CART), Remember, Acknowledge, and Learn: Engaging with the Watsonville-Santa Cruz Japanese American Citizens League Collection.

Curated by the 2023-2024 CART fellow Meleia Simon-Reynolds, the exhibition Remember, Acknowledge, and Learn offers a unique opportunity to delve into the Watsonville-Santa Cruz Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) records, recently made accessible for research through CART. It documents early Japanese immigration to the Pajaro Valley, forced removal and incarceration during World War II, and postwar revitalization of the Japanese American community. This is a chance to engage with the vital and ongoing memory work conducted by JACL members in Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley.

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
