3271: Torazo Iwasaki
Torazo Iwasaki岩崎 寅藏 Torazou Iwasaki
He was born on 15 April 1880. He was a self employed fisherman and farmer. His family
includes Fuku Iwasaki (wife; nee Fuku Shiokawa), Torao Iwasaki (son) and Tsuruko Iwasaki
(daughter). His home address is listed as Ganges, BC. 139 East Cordova Street, Vancouver,
BC is listed as a former address. He was forcibly uprooted to Greenwood, BC.
In the directory RMD is listed in the address area, however, I am not sure what it
exactly is. I attempted to look up potential meanings for RMD and came across Resource
Management Division, wich considering salmon and timber resources is a possibility.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
