Tule Lake, in northern California, was one of the most infamous of the internment camps. Prisoners there held frequent demonstrations and strikes, demanding their rights under the U.S. Constitution. As a result, it was made a "segregation camp," and internees from other camps who had refused to take the loyalty oath or had caused disturbances were sent to Tule Lake. At its peak, Tule Lake held 18,789 internees. Tule Lake was also one of the last camps to be closed, staying open until March 20, 1946.
Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1928.

The story of Tule Lake during World War 2 is a tragic part of US history. It mars the wonderfulness of Americans. Thousands of Japanese were interned at Tule Lake. I live near this place. I have been there. It is a very harsh place with high winds, freezing weather and snow in a desert location. The Sierra's tall mountains overshadow the place. Please read the story of this camp on the attached link. Thank you.
