29 sec. Part 1 Victorio's War
Chief Victorio a.k.a. Apache Wolf. National Archives Background Event: Chief Victorio also known as Apache Wolf, is considered one of the fiercest of the Apache. He and his Warm Springs Apaches left the hated San Carlos Reservation. He had done this twice before, but had returned. When moved to Fort Stanton, New Mexico he fled again, but this time he said, he would never return. Victorio reasoned that the arrival of the new judge and district attorney meant he would be tried for old murders and horse stealing. He and others also left, because government would not give them their promised food allotments, so they and their families were starving. Before Victorio's breakout, the heroic Ninth U.S. Cavalry had been given the distasteful task of returning Apaches who left their reservation. They also had to protect the Apaches on and off the reservation from cowboys and others who often hunted and killed Indians for sport. Some whites made a living by selling Indian scalps to the Mexican government who paid $50 for a male, $25 for a female and $10 for a child's scalp. At one time, the Apaches had been allowed to hunt under the protection of the military, but the settlers didn't like seeing armed Indians so the practice was discontinued. Colonel Hatch of the Ninth U.S. Cavalry, complained to General Sheridan that the Apaches were going to starve if they couldn't leave the reservation to hunt. Sheridan was not impressed with Hatch's letter.

Get Over It, Already!
Subject: Get Over It, Already! (Was: Land of Rising Sun Bad? The war has been over for 45 years. It's time for people to move on and not wallow in the mistakes (both US and Japan) of the past. However, I do see from monitoring the posts and essays of this board, that many Japanese Americans are still bothered by this after all of these years. Here, I (a non-Nikkei American) will ask a general question to all that subscribe to this service which you may choose to answer in good faith, or completely ignore. What is it about the events of WWII that you find troublesome? The fact Japan lost the war? Dosen't the fact the Japan was able to rise up and become one of the leading countries in the industrial world despite the hardships of WWII mean anything? Why is the war still a sore point in your general psyche? I'm sorry, since subscribing to this service late last year, I've seen nothing but a "cry baby" mentality from most, (not all, and I do reiterate that), about the events of World War II. I need to ask this of all of you. What will make this pain and guilt, that many of you, if not all had nothing to do with finally go away? Get over it, already!

Postdoc Lili Kim Gives Talk on JA Internment and Korean Americans On May 8, 2002, Lili Kim, Ph.D., an Institute of American Cultures Postdoctoral Fellow, gave a talk sponsored by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and Institute for American Cultures. Her talk, entitled "Fanning the Flames of Fear on the Homefront: Japanese American Internment and Moral Imagination of Korean Americans," explored the conspicuously ignored historical topic of the experience of non-Japanese Asian Americans on the homefront during World War II. Dr. Kim’s presentation addressed the Korean American responses to the internment of Japanese Americans and the limits of their moral imagination in framing their strategies to escape unscathed from racism on the homefront. Lili Kim received her Ph.D. in American History from the University of Rochester in New York, and has taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University of Pennsylvania, and Hampshire College. Her article, "Redefining the Boundaries of Traditional Gender Roles: Korean Picture Brides, Pioneer Korean Immigrant Women, and Their Benevolent Nationalism in Hawai’i," will appear in , edited by Shirley Hune and Gail Nomura.

Historical Comparisons: Ethnic Diversity in the U.S. Population, 1960 By Jen Wang Web Magazine ClassWeb Site My search for some seemingly straightforward and simple statistics turned into a complicated, strenuous quest for a historical document. I needed to find the percentage of the four racial groups in the U.S. - Whites, Latinos, Asians, and African Americans - in 1960 and then evaluate the information for accuracy. I began my research by attempting to download information and access government data files from the World Wide Web. My search ended in vain when all I retrieved were recent census and countless unrelated data bases. After making my way to the Young Research Library, I was informed that statistics of the US population would be found in the Census Bureau's publication of "Statistical Abstracts" stored in the Maps and Government Information section. I was able to obtain some information regarding the U.S. ethnic population in 1960 from the "1960 Population Census: U.S. Summary, Vol. I: Characteristics of the Population."
The government agency responsible for administering the U.S. population census is the U.S. Census Bureau. Every 10 years the U.S. government mails out a questionnaire to every household which is to be returned at completion. As such, the accuracy of the findings from these census can be affected by various factors. First, the number of questionnaires actually returned to the Census Bureau by each household. Second, precision of questions which ultimately affects how each individual interprets and answers the questionnaire. And finally, the fluidity of human population. Human population is a constantly changing factor due the nature of human migration (which includes illegal immigrants and refugees).

The White House named Shamina Singh Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, which is a federal government-wide effort to improve the quality of life of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in areas where they may be underserved. According to a White House statement, the initiative will address Asian American and Pacific Islander concerns including health , education, housing, labor, economic and community development. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee selected Courtni Sunjoo Pugh to head their Asian Pacific American-related activities, and sponsored an APA Caucus as part of day- long DNC meetings held last week.

    I. INTRODUCTION
    One story of Washington state is a story of immigration, but it is not the simple tale of assimilation or acculturation. Immigrants brought pieces of culture from their native lands to Washington state, where they melded them with pieces taken from American culture. Immigrants did not remain unchanged or melt into a common society, however. Instead, Washington is a mosaic made of different peoples coming together to create new lives in a new land. The Asian American experience is part of this mosaic. Thedocuments that accompany this essay demonstrate how Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos came to Washington, struggled against discrimination, labored to earn their living, and created distinctive cultures and identities. These documents chronicle, in a small way, how some Asian immigrants became Asian Americans.

    Happy Asian American Heritage Month. Show us your culture. And, by the way, do you have any coconut half-shell bikini tops? Once again, we come upon the season where we show our complete and total ignorance of each other. It just shows that while we celebrate a kind of unity during May for the general public, Asian Pacific American heritage month is for us too. Just who the hell are we? And why do we come together but for the accident of biographical geography, or a similar eye-shape and skin color, or a variation of the eggroll in our family cuisine? The recently released survey done by Yankelovich Partners for the Committee of 100 is a good example of that. The nationwide survey of 1,216 Americans showed that 25 percent of respondents had very negative attitudes toward Asian Americans and Chinese Americans.

    Being Japanese American
    By Miyabe Ota
    For me, World War II is about sirens, dark cities and bomb shelters; little children being sent to the countryside for safety or **sokai**; the atomic bomb or **Pika**; sad news of Japan surrendering; Emperor Hirohito on the radio; disintegration of Imperial Japan; youth lost to the **Kamikaze Tokkoutai; "comfort women" of Korea and the Philippines; post-war hope in the voice of Misora Hibari; the baby boom era when my parents were born. These are the most relevant events during the war to me as a Japanese American.
    Manzanar is a foreign story in another world belonging to an American named Wakatsukisomething I read about in junior high. It was just as new and foreign to me as other events in American history such as genocide, slavery or refugees.
    I am Japanese American and everyone in my lineage was on the other side of the big blue Pacific during the depression, World War II and the Asian American Movement. Yes, my family's "World War II history" remains in Japan because that is where they experienced it.
    I was born in the U.S. and am of Japanese descent. That should be all the explanation I need in order to say I am a Japanese American. According to some sociologist who bought into the American obsession with categorization, I am not "Nisei." I am "Shin Nisei." Who is he to argue what these Japanese words mean when he can hardly think in Japanese? Japanese people in Japan certainly do not see any definition of age and generation in those words.
