Title	Relocation from Amache
Photographer	Unknown
Date created	circa 1942-1945
Description	This photograph shows the Okubo family that relocated from Amache to their new residence near Palatine, Illinois. Other families returned to their homes in California, Oregon, and Washington. While it appears that the Okubos made a successful relocation, the resettlement process did not go smoothly for many evacuees. For example, one of the first families to return to California was the Doi family of Auburn, California, in Placer County. The following text is from the teletype message issued by the Department of Interior to Amache officials on January 20, 1945 to quell rumors about what happened: 'The return was without incident until night of January 17 when Doi heard noise in outbuilding. Investigation showed hoodlums had started small fire that was promptly extinguished by Doi and father. Incident was reported to Sheriff's office. Following night buckshot was fired toward house from shotgun in hands of unknown person on road. Sheriff was summoned. His investigation showed several sticks of dynamite planted in packing shed. Governor Warren and State Attorney General Kenny, apprised of facts, immediately requested full protection for Doi family, followed up with conference with Placer County Superior Court Judge, Sheriff and District Attorney, who assure protection. Doi's immediate neighbors are friendly, extending help. Merchants in Auburn are cooperative. Doi family will be happier when other friends have returned to area.'
