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
