This goes in the “learn something new every day” department for me: “Mohawk ironworkers have built bridges and skyscrapers throughout the United States and Canada for more than 100 years.” The National Museum of the American Indian has a photography exhibit that covers the past and present of ironworkers who came from the Akwesasne and Kahnawake communities. Mohawks began working on bridges in the mid-1800’s and have helped construct the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, George Washington Bridge, World Trade Center and, currently, the AOL Time Warner towers.
