Kindred Spirits - The Choctaw-Irish Bond Lives On 

We Choctaw have not forgotten you either! NASHOBA OHOYO!

We haven't forgotten, and now boldly moved for their time of great need in the Navajo nation. Willfully forgotten by the US Federal government.

The Irish people will welcome you with open arms, it touches every Irish persons soul deeply the empathy that the great Choctaw nation showed to us, never forgotten.

Kev Gillz Fraud Dept. 2 Irish would have been the false leadership of the tribes that happened during the American revaluation most Irish men raped native American women killed chiefs and threw false leadership made themselves chiefs. But you can trace your name back and see when your irish blood came over and how and when or who raped the native mother or sometimes written in primary source documents that they even made themselves chiefs and also took wives from there England planter women so most have no blood in them

Danny Grapes Indeed we have. We have aided England and America in their genocides against Native nations. Now, I would argue that while they were born in Ireland, they were not Irish and pledged their allegiances to other empires.

My family is too

Cherokee and Irish here :)

Here mate, take your negative shit somewhere else, there are bad people everywhere. Do you always suck the fun out of everything?.

Halito, we love Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

Yakoke 💙

Halito Chahta ! My father is Chahta and my mother is Irish, Belfast. My father's family originally is from Mississippi but we live among the Lenape people of the Delaware nation. Do you know of the Kincaid mounds in Mississippi? This is where my Father's people come from. I'm happy among the Delaware but need to know more of my nation. Yakoke Chito.

Halito , Yakoke Chito . Chahta Ireland forever ❤

Amazing, that is something to be proud of and inspiring to say the least. I’m glad you posted and take care

Mar dhuine Éireanach a fhreastalíonn ar scoil lán-gaelach tá mé sásta a rá go bfhuil Gaeilge an-mhaith agat! Is rud iontach atá at bun agat.

I am hoping to do this myself!! Where do you suppose I begin? What lessons can you impart to a person beginning this language learning journey? Where can I enroll in Choctaw Nation classes online?

Maith thú a chara

@@therenaessance I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier - perhaps you've already found your way to the Choctaw School. If not, here is a link to their online classes. They run concurrent to the school year, so you'll need to wait until the Fall to sign up for the next session. Lillie Roberts, the instructor, is quite helpful and will help you through the process. www.choctawschool.com/classes/internet-classes.aspx

It is taught in Irish schools

SO so sweet .. Yakoke 🙏🏽💙

I agree makes you glad we're on the humane side of that

The people that did this in Ireland have descendants here too, they deny the truth and hitting a little button on RU-vid reaffirms their false belief. We Irish will never let this be forgotten so let them be, they failed, we are together now , Choctaw and Irish.

Bryan Oliver That only a few miles up the road from me times were very hard for these people I’m that move was life or death for a lot of them even though moving from their home was killing them it had to be done. We Irish don’t forget those who helped and stood by us nothing is forgotten god bless you and all your family may they always see the light of their ways

Yakoke 💙

blessings to you!!!!!!

I'm a Kincaid mounds descendent of Mississippi, Chahta and Ulster Irish. Yakoke Chito!

ireland has just started giving the choctaw scholarships to study abroad as exchange students

You were dead right with your text 2 years ago, I am glad us the Irish have answered your text this year with by helping the native Americans, through the covid crisis, we will never forget what they did in 1847.

I'm Choctaw on my dad's side and I'm Irish on my mom's side so I totally relate. I love being both!

I'm Choctaw Irish siletz Cherokee and I'm happy with that 2;)

to give out of all you had to live on vs. to give out of excess is what Jesus/Yehoshua pointed out... good on you/G-d Bless you Joe for knowing that & sharing it w/ the world. world needs to know, esp. with His Soon Return...

Me to never taught ?

Halito Yakoke Chito ,, Ireland forever ♥

that describes a dear friend and her family. beautiful, strong and good women. tiny in physical size , enormous in spirit. choctaw mom, irish dad. people always asked just what she was, that exotic look. a perfect combination all the way around :)

I became Chahta because when my Irish ancestors come to the US the Choctaw people were the only people to have them,, so my family become Chahta in Mississippi from the Kincaid mounds. My father married my mother who is Irish from Belfast. They met among the Delaware people in NJ . The Chahta people have always welcomed people among them who are suffering and offer life among the great spirit . Yakoke Chito

John Booker Alexander McGillivray?

Why do Blacks ride the coat tails of Native American and act like they contributed lots when in fact Blacks did little compare to Native Americans. One things for sure Your not gonna hear any Blacks pretending to be part Native in Canada.kinda hard believing if Blacks really are what they say they are because I never see any of these wannabes standing next to the Natives about Native issues in America like for example Blacks don't find "redskins" offensive compare to the N-word. Remember redskins is a term for scalping of Natives..

M8 what the fuck are you saying?

Dene Pride are you talking about the black Irish or African American people?

@@denepride2910 You make a valid point but the answer goes much deeper than that. As someone with native and black (African) ancestory, I can speak on this because I see it from both sides of the coin. My Choctaw lineage comes through my father’s side. He is black and Choctaw. The ugly truth, that no one wants to talk about, is that there were Choctaw who owned slaves. Those slaves also walked on the trail of tears with the Choctaw, as was expected for slaves to do. But for some unknown reason, this is left out from the history of the trail of tears. Not surprisingly, the Choctaw and their slaves or freed men had “relations” which resulted in children. The Dawes Act, initially did not recognize those children as being native for many years after and membership was denied them. Eventually through many hard fought processes, Choctaw nation recognized those descendants as being Choctaw blood related. In my personal opinion recognition goes both ways. Many within the native community still to this day do not accept black Choctaw members. Or I should say black members feel ostracized by the native community. Yes racism towards black Choctaws exist, unfortunately, within the native community. Both sides could do more to embrace each other in their distinctive and shared pursuits. PS. I also want to mention that this is not exclusive to Choctaw Nation. Many other tribes owned slaves, such as the Cherokee. Also, you mentioned not hearing of any blacks claiming native ancestory in Canada, I’m not well versed on the history of Canada in relation to slavery but that could be a reason why. If Canadian Natives didn’t own slaves, it makes sense that there was not intermingling of lineage between the two.

@@tamlynn786 The Seminoles of Florida made runaway slaves tribal members and resisted white demands that they and their subsequent offspring be returned to their "masters." Most of the tribe was forcibly moved to Ok. I have no doubt natives and slaves have a varied history depending on the era and the region.
