America Reframed
Skydancer
Season 1
Episode 20
For more than 120 years, Mohawk ironworkers or 'sky walkers' have raised America’s modern cityscapes like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building. Skydancer takes a provocative look at Indian life in the 21st Century: from the hierarchy on top of New York City's steel structures to life 'on the Rez' where problems like unemployment and crime make it hard to see the beauty of the land.
