Choctaw Nation and visited the Lewisham Irish Community Centre a fortnight ago.
Ryan and Reno, members of the Choctaw Nation, joined our Elders group to discuss the Choctaw Irish connection. In 1847, the Choctaw Nation sent $172 of aid to the starving in Ireland during the Great Famine.
As a gesture of gratitude, the Irish Elders presented a gift of their own to Ryan and Reno. Our guests had lunch with our elders and even hosted the bingo!
A big thank you to for making this visit happen.
