Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation opens applications for 2023 educator workshops

The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation is now accepting applications from educators from around the country to participate in workshops to learn about the Japanese American incarceration during World War II and share that history with their students.

Applications for the workshops — Echoes of History: Mistreatment and Incarceration in the American West — will be accepted from Dec. 1, 2022, through March 3, 2023. The workshops, which will be conducted at the site of the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center and various locations in Cody and Powell, will be offered during the weeks of June 18-23 and July 23-28, 2023.

This will be the third consecutive year in which Heart Mountain will lead the workshops as part of the Landmarks of American History and Culture program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Thirty-six educators will travel to Heart Mountain for each week of the program for a total of 72 educators overall. They will receive a $1300 stipend to help pay for their travel and lodging while in the Cody-Powell area.

Heart Mountain has assembled a faculty that includes leading scholars of the Japanese American incarceration and members of the foundation staff, including Interim Executive Director Aura Sunada Newlin, who is a descendant of Heart Mountain incarcerees.

The program places the incarceration that forced 14,000 people of Japanese ancestry behind barbed wire at Heart Mountain into the larger context of mistreatment of ethnic and ideological minorities in the American West, starting with the area’s Native American nations, Chinese immigrants in southern Wyoming, and German immigrants in Montana.

Interested educators can learn more about and find applications on the Heart Mountain website at

Japanese Americans endured terrible food during the first months of their incarceration and anything that resembled what they used to eat was cherished. #OTD in 1942 the @manzanarcomm Free Press published this story about the name of the new shoyu made in camp. 1/2 https://t.co/BSTVDAHYql

By the this time in 1944, the death toll among Japanese American soldiers was well known in the various WRA camps. #OTD the @topazmuseum Times published this story about memorial services throughout camp for the former incarcerees who died fighting in Europe. https://t.co/LHZkZG9U35

The @HeartMountainWY draft resisters are the best known among those who resisted, but in @topazmuseum, Sock Yoshida and his brothers also resisted. He later served during the Korean War and was a high-level judo instructor. RIP, Sock.

Hiroshi “Hershey” Miyamura thought he was just doing his job when he killed 50 Chinese troops in a firefight in Seoul. He set a standard for courage that earned him the Medal of Honor. We honor his life and memory.
