In early October, two hikers were traversing an alpine path, high in California's Sierra Nevada range, when the unexpected happened: they stumbled upon human remains.
The hikers reported their surprising find to local authorities. And once the weather cleared up nine days later, officials from Inyo County recovered the remains, sending them to the coroner's office for examination.That's where the story takes another unusual turn. The remains belonged to Giichi Matsumura, a Japanese man who had lived in an internment camp for those of Japanese ancestry during World War II, according to a DNA analysis by the Department of Justice.
"They had to leave him there," Matsumura's daughter Kazue told the National Park Service in a 2018 oral history."But you know, you couldn't bring him down from there because it's too high."Matsumura's wife, Ito, sent a sheet up with the burial party to cover her husband's body. And the Buddhist Church held a funeral for Matsumura below in the Manzanar camp.
