by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick; Foreword by Gary White Deer


From the publisher

"This deeply moving work quietly and effectively underscores the drama and pathos of a little-known historical episode. In 1847 the Choctaw, themselves impoverished, raised $170 (the equivalent of more than $5ooo today) to aid the Irish, then in the throes of the great potato famine."-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review�A[ Endorsed by the Choctaw Nation.�A[ A Smithsonian Notable Book for Children, 1998.�A[ Children's Books of Ireland BISTO Book of the Year Merit Award, 1999.
