Six Nations of the Grand River is the largest First Nations reserve in Canada, so it is home to a lot of ironworkers, and ironworking lore. Historian Rick Hill recounts the history of Mohawk ironworkers, from the construction of longhouses, to the “boom out” to New York City. Today, two generations of ironworkers work together to build the future. Marshall Cayuga works alongside his sons, and Gerry Burning mentors trainees to be the ironworkers of the future.
