Original museum description: Photograph, black and white glossy of Minidoka internees doing farm work along the canal. All of the workers are men with their backs to the camera and with either hoes, pitchforks, or shovels in their hands. Looks like they are clearing sagebrush. Two road graders are in the background. (Info from original museum description) The Japanese Americans at Minidoka raised livestock and grew produce such as cabbages, potatoes, and beans for camp consumption.
