Carlene Tanigoshi was a little girl when her family was incarcerated at Amache, an internment camp in southeast Colorado. She remembers her dad putting a scarf over her face to protect her from the biting dust. Archaeologist Bonnie Clark heads the University of Denver’s Amache Research Project. There's now a Congressional effort to designate the former internment camp a national historic site.
