Remembering Dr. Miyazaki

Posted on October 1, 2016May 29, 2022 by Miyazaki House Society

Lillooet community and Elders were invitied to “Remember Dr. Miyazaki”, an afternoon of storytelling on Saturday, October 26th, 2013 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Miyazaki House. Story telling and oral history connects us to the past through people who lived it.

The Miyazaki House Society would like to invite anyone who would be interested to share and listen to people’s stories of Dr. Miyazaki. We would like to record the memories of how various people interacted with the late doctor when he practiced in the Lillooet area during the 1940’s into the early 1980’s.

The society felt that by documenting Dr. Miyazaki’s relationships with members of the community, we can preserve the unique and diverse history of the Lillooet region surrounding the Miyazaki House.

Unfortunately, the first filmed interviews were low quality and not usable.

In 2014 the Miyazaki House Society received funding from the National Association of Japanese Canadians Endowment Fund to create a documentary about how people remembered Doctor Miyazaki. The original idea was to create CDs and sell them but we decided to publish the stories online instead.

Mariko met aspiring cinematographers Josh Marr and Craig Trudeau and they agreed to videotape the interviews for us at no charge.

Memories of Doctor Masajiro Miyazaki is a video documenting the heartwarming and inspirational stories of some of his patients, friends, and fellow citizens. Below are previews of the interviews.

Lillooet area residents Len Fardella and Karen Vanderwolf share their memories of Doctor Miyazaki.
Agnes Patrick and Frances Christy reminisce about their visits to the see Doctor Miyazaki.
Lena Sangret and George Vanderwolf share their memories of Dr. Miyazaki.
Earl Cahill and Aggie Malm share their stories and memories of Doctor Miyazaki.

The Miyazaki House Society still has all the raw footage of the interviews. We are seeking assistance to edit and complete the full length documentary.

    What an amazing story. It is heart warming to hear of how dedicated Dr Miyazaki was to his community even through such a difficult time of our country’s history.
