The U.S. House of Representatives declared this eight-acre parcel a national park in 02/2007. It marks the site where 227 Bainbridge Island residents of Japanese descent were transported to the Minidoka Internment Camp in Idaho on 03/30/1942. Representative Jay Inslee of Washington sponsored the House bill to set aside this land as a national park. Creation of the park was to cost $5 million; the State of Washington had committed $2 million of the $2.6 million collected by 03/31/2007.
"Nidoto Nai Yoni" means "let it not happen again" in Japanese.
