The iron path Arizona Republic
Their history with ironwork dates back to the 1880s when Iroquois men were hired to build a railroad bridge in exchange for permission to include a piece of that bridge on their reservation. From that point on, generations of Mohawk ironworkers followed one another to the urban areas to earn a good wage at a trade that held a sense of pride.
'We were so good at climbing around,' said Richard Glazer-Danay, a retired Mohawk ironworker. 'From there on, we did ironwork.'
'You grow up with it, it's good pay, you go to the union hall with your dad. It's a family tradition, a tribal tradition.
'Everybody does it.'------------------------------------------- posted 11:17 AM :: reference link ::
