The Mohawks of Quebec Who Built New York City

You’ve seen the old image of the ironworkers eating lunch on a beam high above NYC.  We meet the Kahnawake Mohawks who helped build America’s most iconic skyline over the past 100 years. And we visit their home across the bridge from Montreal — a place that could not be more different than the city they helped build.
