To Walk the Sky: How Iroquois Steelworkers Helped Build Towering Cities
Mohawk author Patricia Morris Buckley tells the story of the brave skywalkers—Native men who have worked as high steelworkers, building bridges and skyscrapers no matter the dangers—whose exploits are warmly depicted by notable fine artist E. B. Lewis (Lenni Lenape).
Look to the sky!
High above the ground, generation after generation, Native workers called skywalkers have sculpted city skylines, balancing on narrow beams and facing down terrifying heights and heartbreaking loss. These skywalkers who dared to touch the heavens have built a legacy of landmarks all over the North American continent—and even today, there are Native Americans still climbing up among the clouds, brave enough to walk the sky.
Patricia Morris Buckley (Mohawk) tells the soaring story of the remarkable skywalkers, whose bravery and tragedies are warmly depicted by notable fine artist E. B. Lewis (Lenni-Lenape).
