2026 Tule Lake Pilgrimage

The first organized community pilgrimage to Tule Lake occurred in 1969. Several pilgrimages occurred during the 1970s. These pictures from the second Tule Lake Pilgrimage in 1974, among others, are in the Gerald Kajitani Collection at Densho.

Pilgrimages continued in 1982 and 1984; thereafter, many organizers and activists focused their attention on the national campaign for redress and reparations. Since 2000, the Tule Lake Committee has organized biennial pilgrimages to the Tule Lake site.
