ABSTRACT
Who are we, we Japanese Canadians of the first, second, third, and fourth generations, who from far and near have here assembled? What calls us to this communal venturing wherein we gather to hear and to offer voices regarding our mutual concerns? What are the personal and communal stories that have been told, are being told, and will yet be told? Who are we that tell these stories, and what indeed do these stories tell? And, I add, what are the questions to which these stories are answers?
