The following links describe the current efforts to recover the archaeological material left behind at Yama; what's left of a once-thriving Japanese village on Bainbridge Island, Washington. While the Native American influence in this region is prevalent and ever-important, we must also remember the other demographics who make up the region's diverse history. Many of these links will focus on the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, as it has taken a critical role in the preservation and dedication of this now-overgrown site. Once things are set into motion, it will be interesting to see what happens with the archaeological excavation process. Please understand that no harm is intended to any affected party involved, as I present only the information which is available to the public via the internet.
