We are actively working to preserve the physical artifacts as well as the stories and memories of life in one of America's concentration camps located at Poston, Arizona. It was named "Poston" or the "Colorado River Relocation Center", located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation during World War II. The Poston Community Alliance is a 501(c)(3)non-profit group.
The U.S. Department of Defense funded an environmental clean up using a 15-man crew working full-time this past summer for 3 months. There was soil contamination on the Poston Restoration Project site from the asbestos used in the old roofing and the use of lead-based paint.
We recently received the "Camp Days" watercolor collection donated by the artist Chizuko Judy Sugita de Queiroz, who was 9 years old when she was relocated to Poston.

We are looking for people who have equipment & skill with woodwork to make picture frames from the old Poston barrack wooden planks.
