Historical Note
The Japanese Association of North America (JANA) was a Seattle association but included small, scattered local organizations. The Northwest American Japanese Association (NAJA) encompassed the JANA and other local groups throughout Washington, Northern Idaho, Alaska and parts of Montana. JANA, which was founded in 1900, merged in 1931 with the Seattle Japanese Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1928, to form the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Japanese Association of North America (S&J). The main purpose of these organizations was to perpetuate Japanese traditions and many of their functions were ceremonial or commemorative. They also served as intermediaries between Japanese Americans, who were denied U.S. citizenship by law, and the Japanese government.
Content Description
