Spotlight North Dakota – Germans, Japanese & Italians: Unwelcome in North Dakota

Dakota Media Access 12 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:38:26 +0000

In 1941, by presidential proclamation, any “enemy alien” in the U.S. could be detained without any recourse. Ft. Lincoln, one mile south of Bismarck, was one of the many internment camps set up to detain persons of German, Japanese, and Italian descent during World War II. Many of those detained were U.S. citizens. Marilyn Snyder and Scott Schaffnit present this story.

Seventy-one percent of the world is currently covered by water. However, North Dakota is about as far away from oceanic waters as any land mass can be. But, this is not the way the world always has been. State Paleontologist, Dr. John Hoganson, from the North Dakota Geological Survey, talks about the animals that used to live in North Dakota in past times when the state was covered by water.
