I would also like information on the Choctaws. An oft-told story in Irish
folklore tells of Choctaws scraping together $700 to send to the Irish people
during the potato famine in the middle of the last century, despite the fact
that the people were in dire straits themselves on a reservation. Could some-
one from he Choctaw nation corroborate this story, and fill in some of the
details?
