This starts out sad, but after the Choctaw nation was forced off their ancestral lands and moved north in the Trail of Tears they heard of the then-ongoing Irish potato famine.
Knowing how starvation feels they took collections and rounded up something like $150 and donated it in solidarity and suport to the Irish people.
The Irish have never forgotten and try to pay back to a nation that gave all they could in lean times, they have college scholarships to this day and even provided some financial relief for covid.

"Two ancient peoples. A modern-day connection. Nothing divides the Choctaw people from the Irish except for the ocean."
That's beautiful and so so sad.
