Kindred Spirits – The Choctaw-Irish Bond Lives On May 6, 2020 Admin Irish History </p> <h2>Choctaw People</h2> <p> The story begins in 1831, when the Choctaw people were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in Mississippi.<br /> <br /> A few years later, Choctaws learned of people starving in Ireland. Only sixteen years had passed since the Choctaws had faced hunger and death on the first Trail of Tears and a great empathy was felt when they heard such a similar tale coming from across the ocean.<br /> <br /> Individual Choctaws collected and donated $170 in 1847 to assist the Irish people.<br /> <br /> Credit to : ChoctawNationOK</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here --
