These men are incredible. I grew up in upstate NY and knew a few of these men. They are famous in the construction industry. Just no fear of heights whatsoever and tough as nails.
I was born in Franklin County, New York, and raised in Saint Lawrence county. I remember being 11 years old and after my father died a few days before his friend of his came to visit, who I have never met. I jumped up on the kitchen counter to look out the window, and my mother asked, who is it and I said a Chinese guy L O L. This was 1964 and my father had just died on my 11th birthday.
My dad ran a large commercial construction company, in central NY, back in the 70s and 80s…. Always spoke w/ admiration as to the skills and reliability of the Mohawk crews
Grandfather was an Italian immigrant construction guy in the 1920s in NYC. He was very impressed with the American Indian iron workers. He told me stories about they were fearless about heights- catching hot rivets in pails perched up on iron beams way, way up in the air.
They were first discovered in Quebec about 1880, by American builders, to have impeccable balance, no fear of heights, and also a history of longhouse construction, so they were tailor-made to become the Skywalkers, which is what high-iron workers were often referred to as. This bloodline was from an Iroquois tribe called Kahnawake, and is thought to be due to a genetic abnormality. There were 1000 of them at the peak of tall building construction on the New England coast, and there are about 200 still today in New York State. (I wrote a novel that featured them).

UNSUNG HEROES!!! We have holidays to show our appreciation for service members. First responders still get some love. And we even celebrate truckers once in a while. And we can't thank any of them enough!!! But, we never even think of iron workers. God bless iron workers, coal miners, and all the other tradesmen who have jobs that are thankless, dirty, dangerous and out of the spotlight. We can live comfortable lives because of YOU!!!
I live in Chateauguay Quebec just a few miles from the reserve of Kanawake outside Montreal. Almost every guy I know from there is either an Iron worker or his father and brother are. They are the bravest and proudest people you'll ever know. I went to high school with them at Howard S. Billings, some I didn't like and some I did. They were aggressive in sports and had balls of steel.
Just being up there with them in film makes my legs turn to jelly. They are astonishing. They make the high wire act in the Circus look like children's play time.
I worked on the Citi Corp Center in New York city. It was a two derrick job. Two raising gangs, one was almost entirely Mohawk Indians. Nice story. Local 40.
I worked for thirty two years as a union ironworker in local 25 Detroit, and I can count on One hand how many "Indian" ironworkers I met. You either have or you don't, being an Indian doesn't make you a superman it just means you can work just as hard as the rest of us. I loved it!!!
I saw an interview with Alex Honnold, the guy that free solo'd El Capitan in Yellowstone National Park a couple of years ago and they briefly discussed "the desensitvity of the fear of heights" over time, he had no problem being at the edge of a cliff no matter how high up it was or how little the surface area of the edge he was clinging on to was.....crazy.
True. It's work that I could never do. I stand up and get nervous and I'm only 6'3". It amazes how these men could do this as if it were a Sunday stroll. I ended up working for a natural gas company. It didn't worry me to work in a hole or get burnt or blown up in case something went wrong. Falling gives you too much time to pray.🤣😝😄
I fell off of a fire escape, from about 10 feet when I was 8 years old, landed on my back and it knocked the wind out of me. I couldn't breathe, at all. It scared me to death, and to this day I can't even look at videos like this without getting dizzy, and gasping for breath. I'm 72 now and i thought I'd get over that, but I guess not. It was quite traumatic, so I guess that's PTSD. Such is life.
Rescpect to these guys. Truly I couldn't do this not at those heights; And years ago they didn't attach themselves to safety lines. Much respect to the Mohawks from Scotland!
Meanwhile, some think “tough working conditions”, are no expresso machine provided at their office. Much respect to these men. We’re lucky to have them. 🇺🇸
Michelle S. One thing he is trying to find a path for daca citizenship but democrats refuse , why? He’s wants to find a solution them democrats don’t. Why do you like the democrats that don’t want solutions for anything? America is waiting for Your answer.
In the early 1970's I did some materials testing and safety work on a couple of big construction projects in New York. The iron workers had an air about them, they were serious, purposeful and respected. Everyone was deferential towards them.
No matter what race , just incredible , to have the courage to get up every day and assemble a building like that. Iron workers , fireman , and healthcare professionals are so incredible I have nothing but respect for these hard working people.
As a baby, I watched them build the WTC in NYC and cried when terrorists took it down. A good friend from my hometown was killed that day along with 3,000 innocent souls. I'm glad they built a new one, it is a testament to the spirit of the hardworking people of the USA!
I’m a high rise window cleaner amd have even done the cn tower. These guys have balls Alan especially the old school guys who had no fall protection or arrest systems
I have had the opportunity to visit a Mohawk first nation near Cornwall, ON when I was in my forties. That visit confirmed what I had read somewhere when I was a kid. You see, Europeans like myself have a tradition of walking with our feet wide apart, like a drunken sailor, thereby securing that we stay upright. Many Mohawks have a tradition of walking whereby they place their feet in front of each other, like they are walking on a tightrope, thereby developing a superior sense of balance from a young age. That would explain why many Mohawks manage to walk on a narrow latch, without loosing their balance (with the occasional exception, of course....)
I wonder if it is because they don't have the wide paths out in nature or that societies build? I walk around our small cattle farm and follow the cow tracks, which are thin. Forces the foot in front of the other.
I respect the Chicago Iron workers on John Hancock Building great work to be admired like beauty in the sky. Its wise of you to down your tools on a very windy day, everyone went home the carpenters, labourers I witnessed this in 1964 in Chicago my respect for your work lives on forever thank you from Mary Cunningham 🏢🔨🔩🔧

Man so much respect for these guys. I've been an ironworker for about 8 years and I'm 36 and I get up there and do my thing but what freaks me put is all the tie off lanyards we're being made to wear and sometimes being tied off seems like it's more likely to cause me to fall than save me
I was an ironworker for 42 years in Philadelphia and we had some Indians from all different tribes but for the most part our buildings were erected by white and black members. Indians are good Ironworkers but no better than most of my brothers
My first lesson on a commercial construction site...don't get in a fight with ironworkers or Sheetrockers. 36 years later I'm still alive cuz I listened
For a North American to say 'We are world renowned' is usually their ego talking. In this case, all the way to Northern Irelands rural back roads we've heard of Mohawks and high steel. Cool.
I'm privileged to have these people as my neighbors here in northern NY state. Most have dual citizenship in Canada and United States. But they still face scorn and prejudice in a time where saying nig*er can get one killed.
You all are awesome!!!! My butt can't be more than 10 maybe 12 feet off the ground before I start shaking and sweating like a dog, lol, heck, I sweat watching this video, lol!!!!
What a fantastic day it must have been for the pioneers exploring North America. When they crested a mountain to discover spread out below them native American "Mohawk" ironworkers constructing teepees and highrises.
these men and the oil rig workers are the toughest man alive in my eyes, you are the alpha males of this world, you literally build this world. huge respect must be given to them because if you slip just once you DONE and get replaced with a finger snap and everybody forgot about you.
Some people work overcoming fear, others have no fear at all. I worked with an iron worker who became a crane operator. He used no safety gear at all working 250 feet above the water. Death was certain if he made a mistake, but guys like this just never make mistakes like the rest of us. I am terrified of heights, ladders, elevators, & drowning. I had to overcome all to do my job as a dam inspector. I asked this iron worker how he overcomes fear while working at great heights. "I don't have any fear."
