WASHINGTON (AN) — Navajo Nation Attorney General Doreen McPaul thanked the Irish people 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 $5 million, helped by more than $800,000 from Irish donors who recalled the generosity of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma in 1847 during Ireland's Potato Famine.
