WASHINGTON (AN) — Navajo Nation Attorney General Doreen McPaul thanked the Irish people on Monday for repaying a 173-year-old favor that represented one of the earliest uses of an international organization to deliver humanitarian aid.
An online fundraiser for Navajo and Hopi families in the United States that have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic is almost three-quarters towards its goal of raising US$5 million, helped by more than US$800,000 from Irish donors who recalled the generosity of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma in 1847 during Ireland's Potato Famine.
