Redress Update: National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC)
By Dr. Roy Miki
(National Redress Co-ordinator NAJC)
On November 23, 1984 the National Association of Japanese Cana­
dians (NAJC) released its brief, Democracy Betrayed: The Case for
Redress, calling on the government to redress the wrongs suffered by
Japanese Canadians during and after World War II. This historic occa­
sion was followed by a meeting on December 15, 1984 with government
officials representing Minister of Multiculturalism, the Honourable Jack
Murta, at which time a communique was issued from the Minister's of­
fice stating that a “full frank discussion was undertaken establishing a
negotiation process between the NAJC and the federal government.”

However, serious problems developed during the first two negotiation
sessions in January when it became evident that the government wanted
to circumvent the negotiation process in order to impose their own
redress package as early as the end of January.
The NAJC voiced its objection to the government's unilateral ap­
proach at a press conference called in Ottawa on January 28,1985. Presi­
dent Art Miki called on the government to honour the December 15,1984
agreement, stating unequivocably that his national organization would
reject any redress settlement which was not the product of direct and
substantial negotiations with the NAJC.
The NAJC's concerns were shared by John Turner and Ed Broadbent,

“Silent
Majority”
voicing out

VANCOUVER. — Vancou­
ver-born Nisei actor, Robert
Ito, who played the over­
worked lab assistant on TV's
popular Quincy series, has
returned to British Columbia,
to star in a CBC-TV “For The
Record” drama being directed
by Gordon Pinsent.

By NORMAN NAKASHIMA
After watching the “Journal” on
National television last week, I was
impelled to emerge from the silent
majority, to express my views on the
redress issue. Barbara Frum tactfully
grilled Multiculturalism Minister Jack
Murta to the limit and Mr. Murta in
turn replied explicitly and decisively.
However, the interview with Mr. Art
Mikl was a real fiasco — no decisive
answers, no commitments, just beat­
ing around the bushes. It truly
brought out the deeply ingrained
Japanese tradition and attitude. In
Japan, the people very seldom reply
with a'straight answer. Of course, all
are entitled.to their own opinion, but
I for one was appalled.
My criticism is in no way directed
at Mr. Miki, but to all the various fac­
tions across Canada that are active
in the ongoing divisive issue on
redress. After discussing and toss­
ing the redress question around for
the last couple of years, the NAJC
and other groups are yet unable to
put a compensation package togeth­
er. It clearly shows their inability to
come to grips with the issue at hand.
While in Vancouver last month, the
mood of the people, including some
members of the council, was of frus­
tration, confusion, division and un­
certainty. The attitude was the same
in Toronto — no figures, no com­
mitments.
However, I wish to make a sugges­
tion which may be helpful. The two
main ingredients in the package are
formal apology or acknowledgement
of wrongdoing and some form of
monetary restitution. I will comment
on the other issues including the
War Measures Act later. The govern­
ment has recently offered a compen­
sation package containing the two
main ingredients — acknowledge­
ment and a symbolic financial com­
pensation. I am not in favor of the
unilateral action by the government
but at least they have put their cards
on the table.
Now, my suggestion is to negoti­
ate with the government to funnel
some of the monetary compensation
into several long television episodes,
depicting the historical background
of the Japanese, the tide of hostility
and racism, the riot of 1907 in Van­
couver, how Prime Minister Macken­
zie King folded under pressure from
anti-Japanese groups and politi­
cians. It should show the sweeping
action of rounding up the Japanese,
uprooting families, confiscating the
fishing boats, cars and trucks. The
personal trauma at Hasting Park, the
primitive life in interior camps, and
the haunting experience at Angler. It

SAPPORO, Japan — With the wild abandon of a Kamikaze

Sapporo recently to become the first Japanese to win a ski
jump in the World Cup series this season.
Olympic champion, Matti Nykaenen of Finland, still the
over-all World Cup leader after 11 meets, was second.
Akimoto said: “I am happy to beat the world's top class
jumpers.” It was Akimoto's fourth triumph in a World Cup

Two Asians among Oscar nominees
BEVERLY HILLS, Ca. — In
what may be an Oscar first,
two Asian Americans have
been nominated in the best
supporting actor category for
the 57th annual Academy
Awards — Pat Morita for his
role as Miyagi, karate teacher
and father figure to teenager
Ralph Macchio in “The
Karate Kid,” and Haing S.
Ngor, who played Dith Pran in
“The Killing Fields,” a true
story of life in Cambodia
under the Khmer Rouge.
Morita, the Nisei comedian
perhaps best known for his
role as Arnold in the TV
series “Happy Days,” has
said that his critically acclaim­
ed “Karate Kid” role marks
“the first time I've ever por­

trayed a real, full-dimensional
Japanese character.” Be­
cause of the film's popular­
ity, a sequel is being planned.
Unlike Morita, a veteran of
numerous films and TV
shows, Ngor, a Cambodian
doctor, had never acted
before his role as a translator
for New York Times reporter
Sidney Schanberg (played by
Sam Waterston). Like Dith
Pran, Ngor was subjected to
forced labor, torture, and near
starvation before escaping
from Cambodia. Now working
as a job counselor in Los
Angeles and taking classes
at UCLA to obtain a license to
practice medicine in this
country, Ngor won the Golden
Globe award for best support­
ing actor.

TOKYO. — A plan to pro­
duce a movie in memory of
Japanese adventurer Naomi
Uemura who died early last
year, while on a lone expedi­
tion to scale Mt. McKinley,
the highest peak in the United
States, was announced re­
cently.
Toho Motion Picture Co.
said the film will be completed
at a cost of $6 million in Octo­
ber for showing through its
distribution network across
Japan in the spring of next
year.
Uemura, then 43, became
missing while descending after
conquering the 20,320-foot
peak on Feb. 19 and was later
confirmed dead.
His other feats included a

7,456-mile solo trek through
the-north pole region on a
dogsled from December 1974
to May 1976 and a similar trip
across Greenland in 1978.
Toho officials said shoot­
ings will be made on Mt. Mc­
Kinley and other places, in­
cluding Greenland, Nepal, In­
dia and Mt. Everest beginning
this month.
The production will be a
joint project of Dentsu, a ma­
jor advertisement agency, and
Mainichi Broadcasting Corp.

both of whom met with the
NAJC representatives and gave
assurances that their parties
would not endorse an all-party
resolution which was unaccep
table to the NAJC and its
community. They also agreed
on the negotiation process as
the only valid method of re­
solving the longstanding claim
of Japanese Canadians. With­
out all-party support for the
government's own redress
package, Mr. Murta decided
to withhold his resolution in
the House.
Immediately following the
Ottawa press conference, on
February 2-3, the NAJC Coun­
cil met in Calgary and endorsed
the actions taken by President
Art Miki and the Negotiating
Team to prevent a unilateral
resolution by the govern­
ment. On the positive side,
the Council instructed its Ne­
gotiation Team to continue
seeking:
1. a mutually agreeable set­
tlement for the uprooting, in­
carceration, property confis­
cation, and dispersal of Japa­
nese Canadians;

At the end of the Calgary

currently having informal dis­

people. Who knows, from an under­
taking of this size, a few TV stars
may be born among the Issei, Nisei
or Sansei. But to be positive this pro­
ject will be effective, the TV episodes
must be repeated for several years to
recall and remind all Canadians, just
as the show “Holocaust” has manag­
ed to do.
Before I refer to the other issues, I
wish to indicate where I stand in
regards to the enormous monetary
compensation the NAJC committee
is after. I am in favor of a symbolic
compensation — why? The council
will have to engage in a bitter war to
negotiate for hundreds of millions of
dollars from which may develop
racial resentment, backlashes, etc.
This is the greatest fear among the
Japanese.
Setting up trust foundations or en­
dowment funds for research etc. will
not be fully effective, because the
benefits to the people who had suf­
fered the most from the injustices
will be minimal, and again it will not
inform the Canadian people what ef­
fect the War Measures Act had on
the Japanese. Furthermore, the
Japanese community is badly divid­
ed already. I'm afraid it will only
widen the gap when it comes time to
allocate any funds available. More
dissentionj haggling and quibbling
among the communities.
Initially, I was leaning towards in­
dividual financial compensation

to file a claim by themselves.
The War Measures Act should not
be included in the compensation
package. It should be dealt with later
in a separate issue. Trudeau was
pushed to make changes since the
Quebec October Crisis in 1970. Now
the Conservative government is talk­
ing of making changes — as Liberals
did annually for fourteen years. It's
going to take time and why should
the Japanese Canadian try to tackle
the national issue alone, when we
cannot even settle our own pro­
blems. We must join forces with the
powerful Jewish organization, the
Multicultural Association and other
groups to put pressure on the gov­
ernment. However, I believe the
Japanese Canadian should take the
initiative, as we were personally in­
volved, and more importantly, we
must forge ahead with this sustained
momentum.
Last but not least, the embodiment
into the package of the smaller but
important issues should be negoti­
ated in good faith.
It is unfortunate that most of us
briskly debate the pros and cons on
redress but are afraid to speak up in
public (shikataga nai - another Japa­
nese trait). However, the few who had
enough guts to express their views
were all instantaneously attacked,
some laced with sarcasm, in the
following newspaper edition. I am
bewildered why an individual cannot

Redress suggestions from Nanaimo
By KAY HIRANO
NANAIMO, B.C. — Compensation demand and the distri­
bution of same seems to be the problem. My suggestions
on this is as follows, if successful. Form a Japanese Canadian
credit union with all the members being proven evacuees
and their share to be passed on to their family or the next
of kin when deceased.
A pension fund to be set up for seniors 65 and over; such
as the Old Age Pension, with option for a member to re-invest
if they do not need this fund, i ne creuii union to oe operated
like any other such union — mortgages, loans, etc. Properly
operated it can become a successful business with terrific
potential.
By doing this we will always be an identity which will keep
together the future generations. Funds for old age homes,
community centres otp Rv
xu:~ »<o i«ni| be immediately
available and if treated like a business could be self-suppor
ting. The Japanese Canadian uunurai centre in Toronto is
a good example.
This may not be a new idea but this is my thought and
would endorse same.
As far as personal losses, my parents and I have lost
substantially hou^0 ^rnnort\/ 2 ^nat? and near. However,
the criteria of this Redress is to have our Government ack­
nowledge the wrmo ano compensate us as a oody.
We will never receive any compensation incidentally, as
they have covered all legal aspects of the disbursements.
-K. Hirano.
