JAPANESE HISTORY IN THE HOOD RIVER VALLEY
In 2015, Min Yasui was the first Oregonian to ever receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom - our nation's highest civilian honor. Min was first generation Japanese American, born right here in Hood River. His father, Masuo, had immigrated from Japan and become a respected leader in the small community. But this is far from a simple success story. It includes FBI spying, unexpected death, the largest mass incarceration in U.S. history, and a small town in Oregon struggling with newfound notoriety. This is an immigrant story turned national narrative, one still relevant more than a century later.

Ep #1 Almost Home

In the summer of 2013 a father and son set out on their first camping trip together. For the 10-year old boy, it was a dream come true and he was prepared, but then the trip took a turn they never saw coming. In this episode we hear from two Crag Rats and the father of the boy, to learn just what happens when things go wrong in the wilderness.

Ep #2 Crag Rats

In this episode you’ll hear one piece of a much larger history. It considers a fight for civil rights that is uniquely connected to the Pacific Northwest, and the ensuing violence – the Fish Wars - that took place. It shares the story of fisherwoman, Terrie Brigham, her family - and the salmon in the Columbia River.

Ep #5 Tribal Fishing in the Pacific Northwest
