(4) 1-3 A Choctaw Indian tells a story from his boyhood. In 1847, living in poverty with their population greatly reduced, his people respond to the needs of the Irish during the potato famine by contributing $170 to the U.S. aid efforts. Based on a true event, the story is slightly romanticized but enhanced by pencil drawings with fine attention to detail.
