We told the backstory of the Kindred Spirits sculpture in Cork, which recalls the 1847 donation of famine aid to Ireland from the Choctaw nation, at minute 42:00 in our @PassportIrish episode on the Great Hunger here: https://www.theirishpassport.com/podcast/episode-9-the-great-hunger/">https://www.theirishpassport.com/podcast/e...
I just interviewed a Navajo lady who is one of the organisers... She was crying, I was crying... Story coming soon
“We noticed that we were getting a lot of donations from Ireland so we were wondering why. Sorry I get emotional talking about this part,” Ms Begay broke off. “And I learned about what the Choctaw did for the Irish people, and it was so beautiful”

More than $1 million has now been added to the Navajo & Hopi relief fund since it began going viral in Ireland.

The Chief of the Choctaw Nation Gary Batton has sent this message:
"We are gratified—and perhaps not at all surprised— to learn of the assistance our special friends, the Irish, are giving to the Navajo and Hopi nation."

I had a chat with the @NavajoTimes about anti-colonial solidarity https://navajotimes.com/ae/irish-pay-forward-173-year-old-favor/">https://navajotimes.com/ae/irish-...
