A famine-time kindness repaid in Cork to Native American Indians

Sharon O’ Reilly-Coates says a feather sculpture in Cork is a thank you to Native American Indians

FIRM, bronzed bodies above and below a loincloth. Long, silky black hair, colourful feathers, a tepee and perhaps a fishing spear? Enviable, shiny-haired girls.

Mention Choctaw Indians and that’s the image I have. I think of chocolate, also, but only because it sounds like Choctaw.
