One and a half million Irish were lost through famine related death and the Diaspora. Beginning with a blighted potato crop, a confluence of political action and inaction exacerbated a desperate situation. Many Irish emigrated to America, where their profound influence on the social and cultural landscape continues to the present day. Brian Tolle's design expresses a desire to react and respond to chang­ ing world events without losing its focus on the projects commemo­ rative intent. Central to Tolle's project is an authentic Famine-era cot­ tage donated to the memorial by his extended family, the Slacks of Attymass, County Mayo, Ireland. The cottage has been painstaking­ ly reconstructed on the memorial's half-acre site as an expression of solidarity to those who left from those who stayed behind. From the cottage, visitors to the memorial meander along paths winding through a rugged landscape thickly planted with native Irish flora, plants often found growing in fallow fields. Ascending to an over­ look twenty-five feet above the ground the visitor confronts a breath­ taking view of the Statue of Liberty at Fills Island beyond.

    LITTLE BIGHORN NATIONAL MONUMENT TEACHER’S GUIDE TEACHER’S GUIDE LITTLE BIGHORN NATIONAL MONUMENT INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Teacher’s Guide is to provide teachers grades K-12 information and activities concerning Plains Indian Life-ways, the events surrounding the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Personalities involved and the Impact of the Battle. The information provided can be modified to fit most ages. Unit One: PERSONALITIES Unit Two: PLAINS INDIAN LIFE-WAYS Unit Three: CLASH OF CULTURES Unit Four: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 Unit Five: BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN Unit Six: IMPACT OF THE BATTLE In 1879 the land where The Battle of the Little Bighorn occurred was designated Custer Battlefield National Cemetery in order to protect the bodies of the men buried on the field of battle. With this designation, the land fell under the control of the United States War Department. It would remain under their control until 1940, when the land was turned over to the National Park Service. Custer Battlefield National Monument was established by Congress in 1946. The name was changed to Little Bighorn National Monument in 1991. This area was once the homeland of the Crow Indians who by the 1870s had been displaced by the Lakota and Cheyenne. The park consists of 765 acres on the east boundary of the Little Bighorn River: the larger north- ern section is known as Custer Battlefield, the smaller Reno-Benteen Battlefield is located on the bluffs over-looking the river five miles to the south. The park lies within the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, one mile east of I-90.

  • Myles Keogh Was Born in March 1840 at Orchard, Leighlinbridge, County Carlow to John and Margaret Keogh
    HIDDEN GEMS AND FORGOTTEN PEOPLE MYLES W KEOGH - THE PAPAL MEDALS & SITTING BULL. Myles Keogh was born in March 1840 at Orchard, Leighlinbridge, County Carlow to John and Margaret Keogh. He was one of nine surviving children and attended St. Patrick's College, Carlow. Myles became a soldier of fortune, became a 2nd Lieutenant in the Irish Battalion of St. Patrick and fought with the Papal forces of Pope Pius IX against the forces of Garabaldi, who were at that time trying to unite Italy. The papal army were defeated but Keogh remained in Italy and became a Papal Guard. He received, along with all the St. Patrick's Battalion, a papal medal, Pro Petri Sede for defending the throne of Peter. He was also decorated with the Order of St. Gregory the Great for bravery and distinguished service. He then travelled to America and fought on the Federal side in the Civil War. After the Civil War finished he ended up as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 4th Cavalry and fought alongside Custer at the battle of the Little Big Horn. He was killed along with everyone else at the battle on June 25th 1876. The only two bodies not scalped and mutilated were Custer and Keogh. The story is that Keogh had his papal medal around his neck on the day of the battle. It is believed that the Indians, being superstitious, did not mutilate his body because they considered the medal a powerful charm. It is recorded as well that when Sitting Bull was killed he was wearing Keogh's papal medal.

  • A Revitalization Study of the Irish Language
    TAKING THE IRISH PULSE: A REVITALIZATION STUDY OF THE IRISH LANGUAGE Donna Cheryl Roloff Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: John Robert Ross, Committee Chair Kalaivahni Muthiah, Committee Member Willem de Reuse, Committee Member Patricia Cukor-Avila, Director of the Linguistics Program Greg Jones, Interim Dean of College of Information Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Roloff, Donna Cheryl. Taking the Irish Pulse: A Revitalization Study of the Irish Language. Master of Arts (Linguistics), December 2015, 60 pp., 22 tables, 3 figures, references, 120 titles. This thesis argues that Irish can and should be revitalized. Conducted as an observational case study, this thesis focuses on interviews with 72 participants during the summer of 2013. All participants live in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. This thesis investigates what has caused the Irish language to lose power and prestige over the centuries, and which Irish language revitalization efforts have been successful. Findings show that although, all-Irish schools have had a substantial growth rate since 1972, when the schools were founded, the majority of Irish students still get their education through English- medium schools. This study concludes that Irish will survive and grow in the numbers of fluent Irish speakers; however, the government will need to further support the growth of the all-Irish schools. In conclusion, the Irish communities must take control of the promotion of the Irish language, and intergenerational transmission must take place between parents and their children.

  • Athletes Being Present Four Years Ago
    2008 Irish Olympic Team Briefing Athletics Ireland Team Story so far After a disappointing Athens Olympics for athletics, there has been a changing of the guard with only five of the thirteen qualified athletes being present four years ago. There have been several standout performances in those four years such as Derval O’Rourke’s World indoor Championships Gold and silver in the European Championships in 2006. David Gillick has also won two European Indoor titles at 400m. The Irish Sports Council in conjunction with Athletics Ireland made timely interventions post European Championships which have proved very positive. The Irish Athletics team has improved year on year and had a successful World Championship in 2007 in Japan with eight athletes finishing in the top 16 of their respective events. Paul Hession is in very strong form after a double in the 100m & 200m in the Cork City Sports. Both Robert Heffernan and David Gillick have set new national records this season for the 20km Walk and the 400m respectively. Olive Loughnane is another athlete to watch after a personal best performance at the IAAF Race Walking Challenge finishing in 6 th place. Supporting the team All the athletes who will be representing Ireland in the Bird’s Nest stadium receive both financial and medical support from the Irish Sports Council. Derval O’Rourke is the only contracted athlete with eight athletes receiving World Class level funding. The remaining qualified athletes receive funding at International level. Athletics Ireland provides a High Performance programme funded by the Irish Sports Council and has 80 athletes in total with a support strategy that includes warm weather training camps, medical support and preparation for international competitions.
