Results: • Successfully worked with the National Park Service to establish the Amache National Historic Site and ribbon cutting ceremony during the annual pilgrimage Relatives of Japanese Americans incarcerated in Amache find common threads with descendants of the Sand Creek Massacre — which occurred just 46 miles away — during annual Amache pilgrimage. https://coloradosun.com/2023/05/23/amache-camp-sand-creek-massacre/ Amache and Sand Creek achieved historic National Historic Site designation under the same regional supervision, this led the Amache Alliance to start a cultural exchange during the pilgrimage in hopes of it leading to more formal and substantive engagement. It was so successful, this year we are starting a Youth Ambassador Program. https://theprowersjournal.com/2024/03/sand-creek-amache-descendants-find-common-cause-to-pass-history-to-younger-generations/
