The Minidoka Irrigator was a weekly newspaper published at the Minidoka Relocation Center located in Hunt, Jerome County, Idaho. [1]

Publication began on September 10, 1942, and ended on July 28, 1945. [2] It was one of many newspapers published in 10 War Relocation Authority (WRA) relocation centers.

The newspapers served as a means for disseminating WRA rules, regulations and surveys. The WRA initially banned the use of Japanese in the newspapers but later issues sometimes included Japanese-language inserts. Newspaper articles cover a wide range of topics including daily activities, beauty tips, diet and nutrition, crime and law enforcement, education, hobbies, social activities and sports. [3]
