Representatives from the U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Land Management hold a poster featuring a simulated image of the proposed Lava Ridge Wind Farm during a briefing at the Minidoka National Historic Site.

The Minidoka Honor Roll and rock garden is seen at Minidoka National Historic Site, where more than 13,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned at the Minidoka War Relocation Center between 1942-1945, in Jerome, Idaho. First built in 1943 by Japanese Americans who were incarcerated at the Minidoka, the Honor Roll was lost after the camp was decommissioned and deconstructed. In 2011, a replica was created in partnership with the Friends of Minidoka using historic images. As a living interpretative exhibit, the replica Honor Roll is periodically updated to include the names of Minidoka WWII veterans who were not listed on the 1943 original.
