Sisters visit Kindred Spirits

In celebration of Emma Zeigler’s graduation from University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering, sisters Katherine and Sarah McCrea with daughters Emma Zeigler and Ann Dameron traveled to Ireland and visited the Kindred Spirits Sculpture in Cork, Ireland (the sister to the Eternal Heart Sculpture at the Choctaw Nation Capitol).

The sculpture is a “tribute to the incredible generosity the Choctaw Nation showed the Irish people during the Great Famine” of 1847. The experience left us feeling gratitude and pride for being members of a community that was so empathetic and generous to another’s suffering, only 16 years after their own great suffering on the “Trail of Tears.”
