Thank you Native Americans. We did have food. But the British colonisers kept it for themselves. Blessings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪

The Choctaw Natives will always be welcome here in Ireland. I've unfortunately never been to America but when I get the chance my first stop will be the places where our Choctaw brothers and sisters live

The Choctaw said they had walked the Trail of Tears and that now the Irish were walking their Trail of Tears. They said they had not been able to help themselves on the death march trail, but they COULD help the Irish, so they sent 170 dollars during the potato famine, which was the equivalent of about 5000 dollars in buying power today. Now, thousands of Irish people are sending money to their Choctaw benefactors to help with pandemic relief. The wheel turns, and the love and kindness is being repaid.

As Chatah (Choctaw) we too are told of this story and are very honored of the beautiful statue the Irish erected in honor of our friendship and shared struggles.

Thank you Choctaw for feeding my family in Ireland. I donated to the Navajo in your name.

As an Irishman I was brought up being taught of this great gesture. A debt that we could never pay back in full. When the British government turned its back and in fact stole the food we had, the Choctaw nation heard of our plight and stood up for us while we were on our knees. We are forever thankful. We love our Native American family.

Being of Irish and Choctaw ancestry, I appreciate you telling this story to the world.

Great topic. It's always humbling when I think about a people who had so little still chose to help us Irish in one of our darkest hours.

Us Irish don't forget, I am from Dublin Ireland and my school teacher told us when I was young about how our Native American brothers and sisters helped us in our time of need, now it is our time to help you's. Love Peace and Respect from Ireland 🍀🇮🇪

An Irish lady in Dublin in 1980s who worked in a large store, was one of the first people to refuse to handle fruit from the South Africa during apartheid.

I am part Choctaw, (mothers side) and Cherokee (fathers side), and I ended up marrying a man who's only one generation back from when his Grandpa John came over from Ireland in the 1930s-40s. The Choctaws and Irish people both know what it is to be human, and to endure such subhuman treatment, but still bloom with such a beautiful display of humanity and compassion for us to strive to imitate!

My family never forgotten the kindness they showed us then, we came here after the great hunger, how do you say thank you to a people that saved generations of your family.. I still tear up to this day when I hear this reminder that the Chactaw are true HUMAN BEINGS to be followed.

God bless the beautiful and kind, native Choctaw people. You will always have a place in every Irish persons heart ❤️ 🇮🇪

My father is Irish and mother Chatah. We love this story and this age old friendship.

I’m part Choctaw and part Irish. I feel like shaking hands with myself

Thank sincerely to the Choctaw people for their compassion and humanity. My family just managed to escape starvation during this period and although I have no idea if Choctaw assistance saved them, they certainly saved Irish men and women. You have our eternal friendship, respect and admiration.

As an American with Irish ancestry thank you for helping my ancestors and distant cousins in their time of need.

I'm Irish, lived in Ireland all my life and am so proud of this wonderful connection.

Irish, mexica, an natives all have a bond an heart of gold i love my brothers from ireland and the respective tribes of the americas. Irish taking part of the mexican revolution and the chicasaw and southern tribes that came from mexico we have always had open arms for one another

My grandfather was both Irish and Choctaw! Mad respect to both!!!

As a Choctaw Native American I appreciate you so much for sharing our history

I only recently learned about this. It's so good to hear a nice story for once! I am half Irish from the USA but it touches my heart to hear of the kindness exchanged between the beautiful Choctaw people and my Irish ancestors. 🪶 ☘️

I'm Native American Indian from the state of Arizona & my husband is Irish & we got along good. His family r very respectful towards my family ❣️✨❣️✨👍👍👍👍

I am a Choctaw of Irish decent, he was Robert Thompson, she was Arenda Cooksie, of the Mississippi band of Choctaw indians. We are Nashoba. Together they had 11 children, we are still in the place they created together

Great video. Irish people like myself will be forever grateful for the solidarity and kindness shown.

My thoughts are with our Choctaw Brothers and Sisters ♥️

An absolutely beautiful story or how good humans can be !

Famine gone but never forgotten thanks my American friends bless you all from old Eire 👋👋👋🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👍

What a wonderful piece of history out of such darkness. Thank you for highlighting the British sending the food out. It was not a natural famine. Much love to the Choctaw people ❤️

My late grandfather, Dan Ryan, was a teacher and loved reading about American Indians, he left behind many great books some of which i own. It is because of him that i was made aware of Indians and i know about lots of different tribes, the Choctaw, Cherokee, Modoc, Powhatan, Mandan and so on. Whenever i am feeling bored by modern culture, which is always, i will learn something new about any of those tribes, it makes me feel so enriched and i start to see the world as the natives do. Thank you for your spirit, beauty and your true originality in being who you always were.

To the choctaw nation you are a beautiful people never fogret what you done for my country in need YOU ARE A SPECIAL PEOPLE E

Love to the Choctaw from Ireland 💚

This was always why my super Fenian great grandmother was always super supportive of First Nations causes to the point of teaching us about the residential schools here in Canada by talking about similar schools in Ireland. Her point was everything colonial powers did to Indigenous people all over the world was practiced and tested on the Irish. That was why we should identify with them and support those made to suffer under imperialism. I’m glad of those lessons.

We, Irish, will forever hold Choctaw people with high regard.

A people devastated like us 😪..love to your people from mine in Ireland 🇮🇪

Born and raised in The United States but I’ve got Irish blood I’ve always supported the Native Americans/Indigenous people 👊🏻 Much respect

The Britishers did the same thing to Indians with the famine of Bengal. The difference here, is that it happened during the world wars, and the British exported all their grain from Bengal (in India) to Britain, as "stockpile reserves" "just in case" while Begalis were dying in the streets in the millions. India was governed by Britain for the benefit of Britain and nothing more. This famine was deliberately manufactured by Churchill - who, replying to the few conscious stricken British offcials, wrote 'the Indians are a beastly people with a beastly religion,' 'they breed like rabbits', and on the margins of the letter, 'why hasn't Gandhi died yet?' My deepest sympathies to the Irish, and for the sufferings of the Choktaw. I am awestruck to see such wonderful kindness in this world and marvel at your relarionship. May it continue to be strong 💪😊🙏 love from an Indian!

I'm from Mississippi. The Choctaw People have been getting some of their land back. I have family that's Black & Choctaw. Love all yall

My family gets to live because of the Choctaw's kindness. I will always be grateful

A wonderful gesture of kindness to the Irish people which is and will never be forgotten. We are so grateful to the Choctaw family and remain indebted.

I straight up cried.

Peace to my Ancestors the Choctaw and Irish I’m both he loved her very much my grandmother told me very very much Duaaaaa❤

Subbed so fast. The beautiful friendship between the Choctaw and Irish is extremely inspiring.

“When you’re in a battle, fighting an enemy so much stronger, so much bigger than you, to find out you had a friend you never knew existed… well that’s the best feeling in the world.” - Pride, 2014

Forever connected by our history and kindness... Thank you to the choctaw nation, we will never forget ❤️

I wish i knew this sooner thank you choctaw for you're help my family came here because of the famine

My mothers family's immigrated from Cork to Ontario sometime in the early 1900 some after the famine. The fact that the Choctaw and Cherokee tribes sent money to help those in Ireland while they themselves were on the trail of tear really touches my heart.

The Choctaw will always no matter what be in our Irish hearts

Much love and respect for my Choctaw brethern and sistern. And to all other tribes, we love you too. ❤

Wow how beautiful. What a wonderful people the Choctaw are God bless them all 🍀 🙏 ♥

This always makes me feel the most human, just two completely unrelated people lending aid where they can, because we all hurt at the end of the day, hurting together is a little less painful which goes a long way.

What a beautiful story about the goodness of humanity. I recently read “Sing, Wild Bird, Sing” by Jacqueline O’Mahony and just learned about the amazing relationship. It proves the power of empathy and kindness. Being Irish American, my heart was filled with hope and joy. During these divisive times, it’s a reminder that we can get along and maybe even love each other.

Thank you for the wonderful history lesson. It shows how all people can work together to help eachother.

Very interesting video. Much of my family migrated to the US from Ireland in the mid-1800's due to the potato famine. The Choctaw must have been welcoming to the Irish immigrants even before the famine, though. My Great-Great-Great Grandpa, named Wiley, was Choctaw. He was born in 1810. He had married an Irish immigrant who later gave birth to my Great-Great Grandpa, James King, who was born in Mississippi in 1838, several years before the famine. James later fought in the Civil War. His son, my Great Grandpa Obed King, became a share cropper and worked alongside many ex-slaves who became share croppers after slavery ended. So, many of his friends and people he considered his family were ex-slaves. I find interesting that the Mexicans and the Irish also have a very good history (an interesting one, too, if you care to look into it). It seems like the Irish basically got along with everyone in the Americas other than the Europeans (and their descendants), ironically. It makes for an interesting discussion on human nature, social hierarchies, etc.

All first nations are my brothers and sisters . Thank you choctaw nation 🫡🇮🇪

I think I'll be another in a line of Irish people thanking you for this video, Yakoke.

Just discovered this channel. Great narrative. The first real book I ever read was Dee Browns seminal work Bury my heart at Wounded Knee. That was many decades ago and I have read it on numerous occasions since. It instilled in me a great respect for the native peoples of America and helped me form the view that the treatment of these noble people by a myriad of US administrations is one of the most shameful episodes in world history. Best wishes from Ireland.

Something I learned in my life: Those who have almost nothing to give are alway the first willing to share whatever they have.

My grandmother was part Mississippi Choctaw and part Irish, so apparently there was more than a friendship between the 2 groups... This video explained something I have always wondered about my past. Thanks.

Dad's Choctaw grandmother was moved to OK. Mom's Irish family ended up in Liverpool. This story is so full circle.

Awesome video! I'm half Irish on my dad's side from Cork. Interestingly enough, his best mate here in the States is of Choctaw decent. Between the both of them, I was educated on this subject, though informally.

Thats the first time i saw the "no views" thing. Interesting topic btw!

Fantastic new channel! I’m sure you’ll be growing very quickly! Good luck on your KZfaq journey!

That’s what our background this is ours yes human rights Columbus Day should be outlawed so glad to see that Irish yes I am Irish dissentSo glad they help each other God bless

Damn thats a soul healing story.

Hello from Ireland....from one rebel to another, I love the native American Indians. When I listen to Soundgarden's song 'Spoon man' I hear the war drums of the braves. We Irish have so much in common with them. God is Irish and the Indians are our brothers. I'm going there someday to meet them.

Still here, as usual. 👋 Great narration too. Brief and concise.

The biggest thank you from a descendant of a family that you helped my dads mum always told him how his mother’s family was given stuff I know they still a blanket in the family most still live in cork not far from the feathers you are held in high regard there

CHOCTAW, "CEAD MILE FAILTE". translates to A HUNDRED THOUSAND WELCOMES, for you when you visit IRELAND....Thank you...

Thank you & great job! 😍🍀🌞🌻🕊🐎🦊

I’m so proud that these people were good to my country. I’m reading the Irish American Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian” about the extermination of indigenous groups. Im so keen to learn more about these people.

Being Irish and Choctaw this makes me proud.

I have always known I was Choctaw but until last year I didn’t know what else I was … I did a DNA test and discovered I was also Irish. .. I didn’t know about this connection until seeing this video.

Salute CHOCTAW,,THANK YOU

Great people helped.

This video is just great 👍🏽

Long live compassion!

🌓 Thank You!

Thank you xxxxxx

LA or Lower Alabama is what we call it. A small Town called Turkeys’s Town Alabama. We resided there during and after the civil war. Never left still here!

Great job with the videos! Interesting subject. Why did you take down the video and reuploaded it though?

I am chactow and my family is from Mississippi and my last name is Findley which is Irish came here looking for more info on my history since it has been destroyed

The Celta were Christianised in a very similar manner as the Turtle Island Indigenous. Only much longer ago. Celts and Turtle Island Indigenous people both have very long memories! I think we should not only be fond of each other. I think we should all support each other. Out value systems the Turtle Island Indigenous are very similar. After learning just what the Turtle Island Indigenous children learn . The way they connect with nature and the olanet is something to envy. Just knowing that we are each and every living is made of the same molecules as us and in being composed of the same elements all life is different expressions of the same thing, and we are a part OF not alart FROM all of the beauty of the Universe! If we look at recent history as a reflection of thinking that we are seperat and above creation. We end up becoming casualties of our own stupidity! Rome put everyone on the wrong page. Rome put us all on that page none the less. Money was the tool used . We must. abolish the use of money of any type. End investing . End war End discrimination. Most of all, do it in a peaceful manner. There is nothing violent about refusing to use a toxic substance!

No wonder I am Choctaw Indian but also have Irish Blood and of course African as well

This is beautiful

Great story.

Interesting I like to wonder about if the Irish had come here before the French and English..seems like the Irish would have retained honor much more and would have co-existed instead of conquered.The world would be a better place.

The British never Remember... the Irish Never Forget 🤝

During the 2nd Desmond rebellion 1579- 1583 the English ravaged south west munster followed by famine it broke the Gaelic system there forever and I remember when I was very young hearing the stories of the killings from my great grandmother .

2 tribals, different ends of the world. Both a victim to a vicious geneocide

Great content wow

I am a Chatah From Muskogee Oklahoma And I Would Love To Learn More About My Ancestors.

Fascinating history but this video was all over the place! Wish it was chronologically ordered. I found it hard to keep up with what happened in what order.

I'd like to know more, how did the Choctaw tribe send the money? How did they know about the Irish famine? Did they befriend some Irish in America at the time?

I'm Choctaw//Irish, I'm 64

Please do a video on the Unconquered Seminole who against all odds managed to remain in Florida ! It would be an interesting video.

Just saying but I can already tell that I am going to love this video and the reason is you see I am part Irish and the reason is because my last name Dolan means dark haired Irish man

The real Choctaws and Irish know the history my family is Choctaw from Mississippi but my great grandmothers mom married an Irish man back then The Irish and Choctaw use too be close idk what happened 🤷🏾‍♂️

Chatah Sia micha hattack lusa…… I love this story….
