Here is why I really, really love the indigenous people of North America:

Having endured the trail of tears and their own nation in tatters, the Choctaw nation sent the Irish people the modern equivalent of about $6000 during the great hunger (the potato famine). I genuinely consider it a true act of love among the poor and oppressed.

Picture above is a sculpture in County Cork to commemorate their incredible gesture.

    Both of them were invaded, robbed, murdered at scale and still are occupied in their own lands centuries later. I can't think of more similar groups than the Irish and native Americans, maybe add in Koreans.
