Tullycarnet Yarnspinners Featuring Tim Tingle

Tim Tingle is an Oklahoma Choctaw and an award-winning author and storyteller. His great-great grandfather, John Carnes, walked the Trail of Tears in 1835, and his paternal grandmother attended a series of rigorous Indian boarding schools in the early 1900’s. In 1993, Tingle retraced the Trail of Tears to Choctaw homelands in Mississippi and began recording stories of tribal elders. We are delighted to welcome Tim Tingle to Tullycarnet, celebrating a deep connection between Ireland and the Choctaw Nation.
