From hunger and hardship to modern acts of solidarity, students will uncover how one remarkable gift created a friendship that still matters today.

Across all three levels, students will learn that in 1847, the Choctaw Nation sent $170 to help those suffering in Ireland. This act of kindness came just sixteen years after the Choctaw had been forced from their own lands during the Trail of Tears.
