In 2017 a monument was erected in Midleton which paid tribute to the kindness shown by the Choctaw Nation in Ireland's time of need.

In 2022 the Irish lacrosse team pulled out of the World Games and offered spot to a Native American team in recognition of the Choctaw donation. 2/2

On 23 March 1847, the Choctaws Nation took up a donation, raising approximately $170 ($5,000 in today's money), and sent it to the town of Midleton, County Cork for famine relief.

The donation came shortly after the Choctaw Nation had embarked on the Trail of Tears and the selfless nature of the gesture has created an everlasting bond between Irish and Native American people. 1/2

If you can donate, maybe Ireland can again show support to First Nations, as we did during the pandemic to support Hopi & Navajo, in response to the support our ancestors received from the Cherokee during the Great Famine?

Where possible, perhaps we can also support the Lakota in their time of need, in the grip of freezing temperatures:

The island of 🇮🇪‘s population is 24% lower than it was in 1840. The #GreatFamine / #AnGhórtaMhór decimated our island.

The sad reality is that it was all avoidable.

#irishdiaspora #irishgenealogy of the #greatfamine in the 1850 census in Mobile, Alabama is quickly recognized with households of a handful of different family names, though sometimes a mother and child or 2 siblings are present, all recently immigrated. Many were young adults and married within a few years. Marriages were bonded and there would be a co-signer. One finds further links in the community by examining the co-signers.

As Europe approaches winter and is focused on #putin ‘s War, consider #holodomor ( #Голодомо́р ) and #holodomorremembranceday marked by the writing of Welshman Hero of Ukraine, #garethjones ( Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones ), who unequivocally told the world about the 20th century #greatfamine and Soviet #genocide in 1932-1933 #ukraine .
