-
- Society & Culture
Irish American immigrants helped shape the country America is today - but the history Ireland shares with America goes back further than a lot of people think. Today, we look at some of the deep connections between our two countries, including the remarkable story of how the Choctaw tribes helped out the Irish when they were in need.
Special guests include Chief Gary Batton (Chief of the Choctaw Nation) and Gregory de la Haba (of McSorley's, the oldest Irish pub in the U.S.)
