The Internment Memorial Project, “Snow Country Prison,” honors the more than 1,800 Japanese and Japanese Americans unjustly confined at Ft. Lincoln in Bismarck during WW II. Ft. Lincoln held Issei community leaders and Nisei resisters under harsh conditions, a little-known chapter of history marked by government repression and forced renunciations of citizenship.
