Our Path is Paved in Echoes

The camp had been forgotten until local activists found it in The site was designated a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation in Escorted by a National Park Rangers with rifles slung over their shoulders, we hiked for 20 minutes down the steep, red dusty path till it leveled off in a hidden valley. The park ranger would tell us the hidden aspect of the valley was intentional — it contributed to feelings of isolation and prevented airplanes from seeing it from overhead. As we walked along the paved path that bordered one side of the camp, I was surprised by how signs of it had disappeared.

I visited the Manzanar incarceration camp in central California just a couple months before, which had been transformed into an interactive memorial.

The trees grew tall and invasive grass grew lush. A small creek cut through the valley — we could hear the bubbling of the water flowing. The buildings were gone except for the outline of their foundations in the dirt. I found and walked along a gray stone aqueduct about 3 feet wide, cutting across the valley. It had been put in place to bring water to the sugar fields.

As a Muslim American living in these times, it was hard not to trace my life onto this past. My father had come to America from Bangladesh soon after the Immigration Act — he went on to get his electrical engineering degree and to work on the civic infrastructure that makes America: They built the aqueducts and irrigation ditches to bring water to the sugar cane fields and support plantation life. Japanese Americans made up a significant portion of the population in Hawaii by the s.

But in , the Japanese were banned from immigrating anywhere in the United States. The United States has always imported laborers for colonialism, imperialism and profits, and cut off the flow of people just as swiftly. In Hawaii, there were too many Japanese Americans to put all , people in the incarceration camps — it was impractical.

Local organizing efforts by community members fought against it.

Instead, when President Roosevelt signed Executive Order on February 19, , the compromise strategy was to round up community leaders, like teachers and priests, and lock them in various prisons on Oahu or Sand Island, or send them to camps on the mainland. The camp in Honouluili Gulch was opened in March From to , the acre camp held internees and 4, prisoners of war. How easy it is for Presidents to create Executive Orders. The order restricts travel from certain seven Muslim-majority countries and, despite the pending Supreme Court hearing, it is in current implementation.

Thousands of people turned out to protest at airports when it was first introduced, not many kept up with its implementation. Standing in that gulch, surrounded by the remnants of the Honouluili incarceration camp, it was hard not to draw parallels to being Muslim in America.

Our group walked through what was left of the camp. In that valley, banyan trees with hanging roots had cracked through the concrete foundations of long-gone buildings. We were shaded by the tall leafy trees, and the ground crunched underfoot with dry leaves. We could hear tropical birds sing. Every St Paved W Gol.
