Leaving home to follow the work has long been an ironwork tradition known as “booming out.” A team of Mohawks booms out thousands of miles away from home, to a Saskatchewan potash mine where they construct rigs rivaling the size of major skyscrapers. The paydays for the job are great, but the cost of working so far from their families may be even greater.
