The Minidoka Pilgrimage 2003, a bus trip visiting one of 10 Japanese American WWII interment camps after 60 years, was an opportunity for representing collective memories in Japanese Americans communities of northwestern coast of the US. The camp site, now farm land, is a symbolic place of the past passion of Japanese Americans, and is now designated as a National Historical Monument. Participants in the Pilgrimage consisted of former internees, their descendants and others who intended to understand the community's past and share their narrated stories of lived experiences. I examine the Pilgrimage from Pierre Nora's perspective as 'Les lieux de memoire' and oral stories narrated by young part Japanese Americans who actively contributed to organize the pilgrimage, discussing their identities, asking why they sought to have the opportunity where lived experiences were told and collective memories were represented, how they construct their identities as Japanese American by sharing these stories, which could not be heard in their families, in the community.
