MINIDOKA PILGRIMAGE
The Wakasa Spirit Stone at Minidoka Pilgrimage
This summer, the Wakasa Spirit Stone will travel to the Minidoka Pilgrimage to share its story of remembrance, resilience, and resistance. As part of the pilgrimage, the lantern will pay tribute to all who passed away while incarcerated at Minidoka. By sharing the story of the Wakasa Spirit Stone, we honor their memory and reflect on the deep loss and strength carried by those who endured unjust incarceration during World War II.
