Call to Action

Both the Japanese Government and the United States Government have long oppressed, suppressed, and repressed our voices. It is high time that our people receive the justice that has been delayed for far too long. We are a small indigenous group, often shrouded in silence, unheard amidst the shadows cast by these powerful governments.

Japanese Citizens

Advocate for Justice

Your advocacy can influence policy changes that promote justice for Indigenous peoples affected by past conflicts.
