The Choctaw Nation's Contribution to Famine Relief
This podcast episode explores how the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, a Native American tribe, raised $170 in 1847 to help the Irish during the Great Famine. They recognized the suffering of the Irish people as they had experienced a similar fate during their forced removal from their ancestral homeland, known as the Trail of Tears.
