“Excavating Injustice: The Archaeology of a World War II Japanese Internment Camp in North Idaho” Idaho played a crucial role in Japanese internment as it was home to two sites of confinement: Kooskia, in Idaho County, and Minidoka, north of Twin Falls. More than 250 male Japanese internees occupied Kooskia Internment Camp between May 1943 and 1945, while Minidoka Relocation Center housed more than 7,000 individuals of Japanese heritage from August 1942 to 1945. Besides being a relatively neglected and remote site of Japanese confinement, Kooskia Internment Camp represents the U.S. government’s first attempt to use internees as a workforce. Sponsored by the Spokane Society of the Archaeological Institute of America. Wednesday, 6:30 p.m., Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, 2316 W. First Ave. Free. (509) 363-5344.
