Japanese Internment Camp

Just outside of Granada, Colorado ( south east corner of the state) was the Amache Internment camp for Americans of Japanese extraction.  Amache is actually NOT a Japanese word but rather an Indian word.  The camp had schools, farms, police.  But as nice as the Federal Agents wanted to make it seem , it was still an internment camp for Americans.
