Join us on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 12:00-2:00pm Pacific Time at the White River Buddhist Temple. We will celebrate the work of Karino Wada, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation (APIAHiP) and 4Culture Equity in Historic Preservation Intern.

Over the past six months, Karino has continued important research on Japanese American historic places in the White River Valley of Washington State. She is building on the work of previous intern, Jade Wahlgren. Karino’s research led to a new collection within APIAHiP’s East at Main Street collection on  Historypin.

Karino also created a hands-on historic site stamp book. This interactive public history tool designed to bring this research to life and connect the community with the deep roots and contributions of Japanese Americans in the White River Valley.

This Equity in Historic Preservation Internship is supported by APIAHiP, 4Culture Beyond Integrity Program, and Puyallup Valley Chapter Japanese American Citizens League (JACL).
