Legend has it that ironwork is in the blood of Mohawks, something that is passed down from generation to generation. Today, aspiring ironworkers must go off to school and get certified through a rigorous training process. Kahnawake Mohawks travel to Montreal for the only English-language apprenticeship program in the area. Akwesasne has a training program right in the community, run under the watchful eye of veteran ironworker William Cook.

Also available in French: Formation pour les monteurs-assembleurs; Mohawk version: Kaieríhaton Ieioiénhto
