  • This documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin introduces us to Randy Horne, a high steel worker from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake, near Montreal. As a defender of his people's culture and traditions, he was known as "Spudwrench" during the 1990 Oka crisis. Offering a unique look behind the barricades at one man's impassioned defence of sacred territory, the film is both a portrait of Horne and the generations of daring Mohawk construction workers that have preceded him.
    Directed Alanis Obomsawin - 1997 | 58 min

    Great doc. So much more than just the steel work. What an amazing community. I have so much respect for such hard workers. Also, I want to dive with those guys. Wonder if they ice dive.

    Wow this is a great video not only about ironworkers but a piece of history on Mohawks....Ever since i heard a chant in my dream i was interested in native Americans and learning of them...

    Not remotely native, but the native iron workers and their families work ethic is second to none. My thesis will be related to areas like this, looking forward to visiting the communities soon :) glad to see some proud indigenous folk changing outsiders perception and creating a community around their history

      @@ps2paulywalnutz439 a few years back I worked with a hand from Alberta that was Mohawk and Cree. One of the best guys I ever worked for and that I worked with more than anyone is Osage. I have worked with a lot I native guys over the years from Oklahoma. I have always had alot of respect for Native Culture and Native people. There used to be a few pow wows I would go to here in North Texas. I am currently reading "Killers of the flower Moon" a book on the Osage Murders in the 1920s.

    I walked smaller commercial bar joist. None ever told me not to. About ten feet out they start swaying back and forth violently side to side. Then l thought l might try walking across like five that were not shook out. Ten feet out the pile of bar joists went into a death wobble. It was fun work satisfying work and l loved it. The stuff l did back then was only like four stories tall. The stuff available at the time non union. I later went to kcMo. Hall local ten for letter of intent to hire. They said and l quote "Son..,you can use that front door as an exit as well. So l joined Carpenters local 61 and it was a career l loved
