Hozier's mention of the word "hushpukena" (a Choctaw word) in the song Butchered Tongue was, of course, not a random decision. In a song about the pain of being disconnected from your ancestral language and culture as a result of colonization and oppression from outside forces- which is something that both Irish and Native American people have experienced to varying degrees. Not only do Irish and Indigenous people have this shared history of colonization at the hands of the British, but Irish and Indigenous communities have a long history of support for one another.

The usage of "hushpukena" is even more specific and important because it calls back to the mutually positive relationship between Irish and Choctaw people specifically. During the Great Hunger in Ireland, the Choctaw Nation donated $170, which is more than $5,000 in today’s money, to aid the Irish. Out of all American aid given to Ireland during the famine, the donation from the Choctaw Nation was the largest donation given.

In 1990, leaders from the Choctaw Nation visited County Mayo in Ireland to participate in the first annual Famine Walk. In 1992, Irish people visited the Choctaw Nation and participated in a trek to commemorate the Trail of Tears. Also in 1992, a plaque commemorating the Choctaw's aid was installed in the house of the mayor of Dublin. In 1995, the Irish President Mary Robinson visited the tribal headquarters of the Choctaw Nation to thank the Choctaw people for their aid. In 2017, a sculpture named "Kindred Spirits" was built in Cork, Ireland to commemorate the Choctaw's aid and to continue friendship between the two communities. In 2018, the Taoiseach (prime minister) of Ireland visited Choctaw tribal headquarters and stated,"A few years ago, on a visit to Ireland, a representative of the Choctaw Nation called your support for us ‘a sacred memory’. It is that and more. It is a sacred bond, which has joined our peoples together for all time". In 2020, more than $1.8 million was raised by Irish people as aid for Native American people (specifically the Navajo and Hopi) during the pandemic, to help provide food, clean water, and health supplies.

To my home country of the United Kingdom,

Do you deny that you enslaved Africans and placed them in concentration camps when they revolted?

Do you deny that your exportation of food from India caused several famines that killed millions?

Do you deny that you imprisoned and tortured Malayans suspected of working against you, even going so far as to keep the heads and scalps of the executed as trophies?

Do you deny that your exportation of food from Ireland and refusal to stop it worsened the Great Famine?

Do you deny that you continued to torment the Irish all the way up until the late 1990s?

Do you deny that you massacred both Native Americans and Aboriginal people, both of whom continue to be oppressed today?

Do you deny that you are the main inspiration behind the politics that make the USA so fucking corrupt?!

Do you deny that you only fought against the Nazis because they were hoping to take power from you and NOT because they were committing fucking GENOCIDE?!

Do you deny that you are the reason for which India and Pakistan are always at each other's throats?!

Do you deny that you are the reason for which mainland China won't leave Hong Kong and Taiwan alone?!

DO YOU DENY THAT YOU ARE THE REASON WHY PALESTINIANS ARE BEING WIPED OUT BY ISRAELI FORCES?!

FUCK MY HOME COUNTRY! AND FUCK EVERYONE WHO THINKS THE BRITISH EMPIRE WAS GREAT! FUCK YOU ALL TO HELL! 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Choctaw Native Americans raised $170 of their own money—equivalent to thousands of dollars today— in aid to supply food for the starving Irish. This exemplifies the incredible generosity of the Choctaw people, because just 16 years before, they were forced by U.S. President Andrew Jackson to leave their ancestral lands and march 500 miles on the “Trail of Tears,” in terrible winter conditions. Many did not survive.

Today, the Irish people are still grateful for the generosity of the Choctaw people. A monument stands in Midleton’s Bailick Park as a tribute to the tribe’s charity during the Great Famine. Named “Kindred Spirits,” the magnificent memorial features nine giant stainless steel feathers, shaped into an empty bowl.

It is time for the Great Famine!

I am so nervous for all of my households with this event and hope everything works out well.

Instead of just waiting till the end of 1317 to do all of the roles, I have decided to split them up between 1315-1317. This way I can adjust the storytelling as I go and it won't be one big mess toward the end. Of course, I will still have birthday rolls and pregnancy rolls to do as well.

For those who may not play the Ultimate Decades Challenge, the rolls are done with a D8 roller for each sim in a household. If a sim gets a 3 or a 7 then the sim dies of starvation.

The rolls will go as follows.

1315 Great Famine Rolls

Smith Family

House Stagfield -- Side Household (Prince Evrard's Family)

House Davenport

House Gilbert

House Dalriada

1316 Great Famine Rolls

Hicrest Family

Blackburne -- Side Household (Alaric's Family)

House Clarillot

House Almanzor

House Brabant

1317 Great Famine Rolls

Blackburne Family -- Main Household

House Stagfield -- Main Household

Orphanage

King's Guard
