In 1847, the Choctaw nation sent $170 to the victims of the Irish potato famine,  despite enduring considerable hardships itself.   In 2017,  Choctaw and Irish dancers celebrated the  dedication ceremony for a statue commemorating the event.    Now there is an online fundraiser  benefiting the Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation,  which has raised more than $2.5 million for water, food and health supplies.    Irish donors have contributed around half a million dollars,  and many donors have specifically mentioned the 1847 donation.   Favors  live on  so long as people remember them and maintain the same spirit which gave birth to them.
