To Brooklyn and Back: A Mohawk Journey
Mohawk filmmaker Reaghan Tarbell of Kahnawake, Quebec, explores her roots and traces the connections of her family to the Mohawk community in Brooklyn, New York. For more than 50 years, the Kahnawake Mohawks of Quebec occupied a 10-square-block area in the North Gowanus section of Brooklyn, which became known as Little Caughnawaga. The men, skilled ironworkers, went to New York in search of work and brought their wives, children and, often, extended family with them. The story of the Mohawk ironworkers has been well-documented, but the stories of Kahnawake Mohawk women who lived in Brooklyn have remained untold until now.
