The Poston Community Alliance is dedicated to preserving the historical significance of the Poston incarceration camp, where approximately 18,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned during World War II. Through various educational initiatives and the preservation of artifacts and historic structures, they aim to uphold social justice for all Americans while honoring the multicultural history that intertwines Japanese Americans and Native Americans.
Key events such as the Poston Pilgrimage provide opportunities for the public to learn about camp life and the important relationships formed between detainees and the local tribal community. The Poston exhibit, housed within the Museum of the Colorado River Indian Tribes, highlights this rich history and facilitates connection to personal stories of those who lived there.
