Scope and Contents: The Amache project chronicles the Amache Relocation camp that housed Japanese prisoners in Granada, Colorado from 1942-45. Over 7,000 Japanese Americans were wrongfully imprisoned at this camp in its three years of existence.  The project combined students from several different majors and emphasis areas. This included Jaime Huerta, a graduate student in the athletic training program, who hails from Granada.  The students performed oral history interviews of Martina Medina Pena, Antonio Esquibel, Kyle Hartshorn, Jaime Huerta, Marge Taniwaki, Magdeleno Rose Avila, and Daniel Duarte.
