Renewal - Arthur Kazumi Miki
Arthur Miki, a sansei, has had a distinguished career as an educator and community activist. He has worked to promote improved race relations and to increase awareness of human rights issues in Canada.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Art was five years old when his parents and grandparents were forcibly removed to Manitoba in 1942 to work on a sugar beet farm. He later became a teacher and was a principal in several Winnipeg schools for 18 years. He has been active with many cultural organizations, especially in the Japanese Canadian community. As president of the National Association of Japanese Canadians, Art led the negotiations to achieve a just redress settlement for Japanese Canadians interned during the Second World War.
He is author of the book Japanese Canadian Redress Legacy: A Community Revitalized published by the NAJC in January 2003.
In 1991, Art received this country’s highest recognition, the Order of Canada, and in 1999 he received an Honourary Doctorate degree from the University of Winnipeg. He is currently a Citizenship Judge for Manitoba and Saskatchewan
