Two one-week workshops for 72 educators on Indigenous history and the incarceration of Japanese Americans in Heart Mountain, Wyoming.

Few sounds of history occur for the first time. Instead, they repeat themselves, echoing through new generations and new communities. That is the theme of the proposed Landmarks of American History and Culture workshops by the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation to occur June 18-23 and July 23-28, 2023. Echoes of History: Mistreatment and Incarceration in the American West is a place-based, pedagogically centered exploration of the Japanese American incarceration of World War II that weaves that event into a larger and more complex narrative. It is backed by participant feedback, expanded inquiry and the new resources now available at the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center.
