  Produced by Ken Verdoia KUED Productions Western America, Twentieth Century During World War II, 120,000 American residents were sent to concentration camps not in Europe, Asia or some other distant place, but here in the United States. Over 8,000 of these men, women and children were interned in Utah. Their crime was their ancestry; their penalty was their loss of freedom. They were ethnic Japanese, more than 60% of whom were native-born American citizens, and who became victims of the wartime fears of their fellow Americans. Topaz is the story of the thousands of San Francisco Bay Area Japanese who were separated from their property, livelihoods, and constitutional rights, and shipped to a windswept stretch of Utah's roughest rangeland. There, for more than three years, these men, women and children were forced to call row after row of tarpaper barracks "home." This was Topaz, a war relocation camp near Delta, Utah, which overnight became the fifth largest city in the state. The internees, surrounded by barbed wire and armed sentries, were never formally charged with a crime, and were never granted a trial. They were simply uprooted from their homes and shipped off in blacked-out trains. It was feared that, though most were American citizens, they would none-the-less be more likely to serve the Emperor of Japan than the cause of freedom in the United States. No evidence was ever presented to sustain the rumors of pending sabotage or disloyalty, but 'military necessity' became the foundation for one of the darkest wholesale actions against an ethnic minority in American history. Topaz examines Utah's unique role in the relocation program, and explores the atmosphere in Utah during this period. Through archival film and photographs, many never before broadcast, and through interviews with surviving internees and Utah camp workers, the years of imprisonment are brought to life from Utah's perspective. Topaz also provides deeply personal insights into the ironies of war relocation: the struggle of camp residents to find normality in their lives in the desert; what it meant to pledge allegiance to the flag of a country that considered you a subversive because of your ancestry; Minimize

He crafts the bracelet of luminous sterling silver featuring 18k gold. .925 rating silver Artisan Info: Born in Ayacucho in 1949, Tiberio Gonzales moved to Lima as a teenager to find work. "By chance, I was offered a job cutting gemstones, and, thanks to my teacher, I learned the craft," he recalls. "I love the gems of Peru with all their beautiful colors. I worked with that teacher for five years and then decided to learn the art of jewelry. That's when I discovered the true value and beauty of stones. Each stone encloses an infinite number of colors and tones. You can see a natural landscape in each stone, when you closely observe it. "I decided to venture out on my own and set up a workshop. I did everything myself, from creating the designs to crafting each final piece, and really enjoyed it. "My inspiration comes from the stones themselves. When I hold a gemstone in my hands, I see what that particular stone is best suited for and how to best develop it. I combine stones with Peruvian silver; this is how each of my creations is born. I try to use these natural elements in different and unusual ways, with the authenticity of Peru inherent in my style. "When I met my wife, Victoria, she was working for a company Minimize

Brazilian designers Juh Vieira and Fernando Magriffi capture the ethnic elegance of Amazonian tribes. They thread dyed bamboo cylinders on multiple strands of ramie that lead to leather borders. The original bracelet ties into a knot with cotton cords. Artisan Info: "My name is Juh Vieira, and I grew-up in a harmonious environment filled with music and dance. My mother used to knit or crochet a variety of things, so I had all the necessary elements for a career in arts. My mother always encouraged me to craft things with my hands, and in that respect the first things I made were in cotton crochet, a technique I learned from her. "By the time I was five years old I was already making crochet necklaces and bracelets. When I was 12 years old I would often help my mother, and I also learned different techniques from other artists. "Fernando also grew-up in a healthy environment, in a time when there wasn't so much technology. He used to make his own toys - from kites to cars. His first contact with art came during the 1980's, when he lived in the outskirts of Sao Paulo while he worked for a big electro mechanic company. He realized he had a good ability for working with his hands as he twisted wire into all shapes with his tools. Everyone admired his creations as he discovered Minimize

Braided by hand, brown leather is transformed into a classic necklace. Rosa Tomatis links two braids with shining silver. .950 rating silver Artisan Info: Rosa Tomatis was born in Lima on August 7, 1948. She studied in a number of art workshops that were especially valuable for the function of design. Her artistic formation was achieved in the Universidad Catolica, while her paintings are inclined toward the surreal and playful abstraction. "When I was very young, my family saw my natural instinct for drawing, so they found an art teacher for me. Thus I followed this path, and I found it more and more beautiful," Tomatis says. "When I was a little girl, I loved to hear stories. But I always asked that they be in color. When they had a sad ending, I'd insist it be changed to a happy one. That was many years ago. But when I hear a sad tale, I still want to change it to have a happy ending. "I'm a painter but as a girl I learned all about leather, as my father worked with tanners. My brother Rodolfo Tomatis is also a Novica featured artisan [with leather handbags]. I design and work with leather, and I also craft jewelry. With both, I select the very best materials. I love to mix natural elements with silver. Sometimes I give it a rustic finish; other times I like a shiny surface. Minimize

From the roof of the world. Traditional craft passed down the centuries, precious materials & sacred stones woven into a magical spell. A sacred keepsake for your spiritual journey. Native crafts help support Tibetan refugees. Reiki Tummo energy blessing added for health & happiness. I must always cherish all living beings. Karma is very simple, really. All of our actions of past, present & future are causes & all of our experiences of past, present & future are effects. Therefore, if we are experiencing positive circumstances now (being taken care of, being loved, living in a comfortable environment, good health), they are the result of our having performed related virtuous actions in this or previous lives. The motivation for performing such virtuous actions almost always involves cherishing others in one way or another. Whatever pleasant circumstances we have, we can thank ourselves for cherishing others to generate them & if we want to have similar circumstances in the future, we must keep cherishing others to create the necessary good karma. If we are not enjoying pleasant circumstances, if others are taking advantage of us or treating us poorly, we can turn this situation around. Our cherishing others now always results in positive effects later. One of the laws of karma is that an action is never wasted. The virtuous seeds we plant will ripen. One catch, though, is that we need to take the long view. Virtuous seeds planted in this life may not ripen until our next life, or in lives after that. But one thing we can be sure of is that any time we perform an action of cherishing others, we are creating positive circumstances for ourselves sometime in the future.

Native crafts help support Nepalese & Tibetan refugees. Reiki Tummo energy blessing added for health & happiness. Tibetan Bhavacakra in Sera, Lhasa.The Bhavacakra or Wheel of Becoming is a complex symbolic representation of samsara in the form of a circle, found primarily in Tibetan Buddhist art. Samsara is the continuous cycle of birth, life & death from which one liberates oneself through enlightenment. Legend has it that the Buddha himself created the first depiction of the bhavacakra & the story of how he gave the illustration to King Rudrayada appears in the anthology of Buddhist narratives called the Divyavadana. In the Buddhist depiction, different karmic actions contribute to one's metaphorical existence in different realms, or rather, different actions reinforce personal characteristics described by the realms. Leading from the human realm to the outside of the wheel depicts the Buddhist path. The mantra Om Mani Padme Hum it contains the essence of the entire teaching of Buddhism. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance & patience. Pad, the 4th syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration & the final 6th syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom. So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the 6 practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these 6 perfection's is the path walked by all the Buddha's of the 3 times.
