Cork sculpture recalls generosity of Choctaw Nation during Famine
Link to tweet
The generosity of a Native American tribe towards the people of Ireland at the height of the Great Famine will be recalled this weekend with the unveiling of a sculpture to commemorate the event.
The Choctaw Nation of the southeastern states of America were so moved by the plight of the Irish people during the Famine that in 1847 they raised $170 – worth tens of thousands of dollars today – from their meagre resources to aid those starving in Ireland.
