The National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) represents the Japanese community in Canada. It was founded in 1947 with its main objectives being the strengthening of the Japanese community and equality of human rights. The NAJC played a large role in getting the federal government to admit the wrongs committed against the Japanese Canadian community during and after World War II.

全カナダ日系人協会（NAJC）は、カナダにおける日系人コミュニティを代表する組織である。1947年に設立され、その主な目的は日系人コミュニティの強化と人権の平等である。NAJCは、第二次世界大戦中および戦後における日系カナダ人コミュニティへの不当な扱いを連邦政府が認めるよう働きかける上で大きな役割を果たした。

Our national office is located on the traditional territories of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda Nations (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). We also acknowledge that the city of Calgary is home to the Métis Nations District 5 and 6.

As a national body, we recognize that our team and member organizations are located across the traditional territories of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples throughout the land now known as Canada. We offer respect and gratitude to Indigenous Peoples who have been the stewards of the lands and waters on which we live and work since time immemorial.

We acknowledge that our settlement on these lands is only possible because of the ongoing displacement of Indigenous Peoples. As Japanese Canadians, our shared history of forced removal strengthens our commitment to justice for those who continue to be uprooted today.
