We will delve into the 175 year history of Kindred Spirits: The deep and beautiful connections between the First Nations of the Islands of Ireland, and Turtle Island, starting with the Choctaw Gift of 1847 from the Choctaw Nation, to the people of Ireland, and bringing us up to the present, where Kindred Spirits is becoming a growing inspiration, as demonstrated last summer with Kindred Spirits Ireland 2022 in Cork, Ireland.

After the presentation there will be discussion and Q&A plus a showcase of highlights from the Kindred Spirits Conference.

James Desmond is the main coordinator of Kindred Spirits.  James is a local indigenous artist of Cork City on the Island First Nation of Ireland.  “Kindred Spirits is about uniting through Example, it’s about looking back in order to see our way forward in kindness and compassion; by acting on and strengthening the connections made through those rare compassionate examples in our past such as the Choctaw Gift of 1847, we can avoid repeating history continuously with the worst of example, such as greed, segregation and war.”
