Introduction

Tule Lake National Monument is a site that commemorates the history of Japanese American internment during World War II. It serves as a reminder of the injustices faced by individuals and families who were forcibly relocated and detained in this area.

Visitors come to reflect on this difficult chapter in American history. The monument includes remnants of the internment camp, a visitor center, and educational exhibits that provide context and insight into the experiences of those who lived here.
