Mohawk Iron and Steelworkers of New York
What made me write this post? One night I was Guiding the night tour and after the tour, my guest from Canada came to me and mentioned they were the Fifth generation of Mohawks, that their community built all the buildings I pointed out on the tour and I did not mention the Mohawk Skywalkers who built those buildings.Even though I know of their great works; I felt bad that I did not mention them.
So this blog is dedicated to the Mohawk community In New York and Canada. God bless you all and thank you for your great works that we see, love, take pictures of, but again the Mohawk community is not commended for it.
In New York and Quebec in the early 18th to the mid-20th-century construction of skyscrapers was done by the Mohawks. The Mohawk men were real Iron and Steelworkers who built the bridges and skyscrapers; like the Empire State Building, both World Trade Centers, and the George Washington Bridge just to name a few. Therefore, because of their fearlessness of being skyscraper iron and Steelworkers, they were nicknamed "Skywalkers”.
There is a film curator at the National Museum of the American Indian, located in the former US Customs House in Lower Manhattan by Battery Park.
Mohawk skywalkers also helped rescue people from the burning towers, and dismantle what was left of the buildings after 911.There were 200 Mohawk iron workers (out of 2000 total iron workers at the site) participated in rebuilding the One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.
When they are building skyscrapers here in NYC they drive at least 360 miles from St. Lawrence River in Quebec to work the week and then head home for the weekend to be with their families.Mohawk skywalkers also helped rescue people from the burning towers, and dismantle what was left of the buildings after 911.There were 200 Mohawk iron workers (out of 2000 total iron workers at the site) participated in rebuilding the One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.
Nowadays the community of NYC Mohawks is still in Brooklyn New York
