Granada Relocation Center National Historic Site Act of 2006
Summary
This bill proposes the establishment of the Granada Relocation Center National Historic Site in Granada, Colorado, as an official affiliated site of the National Park System. The site, also known as Camp Amache, served as a Japanese American internment camp during World War II, and this legislation would preserve the location to honor and educate the public about its history.
Under the bill, a local organization called the "Friends of Amache" would manage the site in coordination with the Secretary of the Interior, who would be responsible for developing a long-term management plan. For citizens, this designation ensures federal recognition and support for the preservation of the site’s historical artifacts and structures, providing a permanent place for public reflection and education regarding civil liberties.
