Little Caughnawaga: To Brooklyn and Back
(2008, 56:46 min.) CANADA/US
Director: Reaghan Tarbell (Mohawk)

Reaghan Tarbell explores her roots and traces the connections of her family from their Kahnawake community in Quebec to the 10-square block area in the Brooklyn neighborhood known as Little Caughnawaga. There, while the Mohawk steel workers were building Manhattan's iconic skyscrapers, the women kept their feet firmly on the ground-sustaining a vibrant community far from home.
