A History of Indian Ironworkers is an important book by Tuscarora artist and educator Richard Hill that examines a unique occupation of Iroquois men--ironwork. Men from Iroquoian communities in Canada and United States erected many skyscrapers, public buildings and bridges such as the Empire State Building, the SkyDome, and the Peace Bridge. Their contribution to the built landscape of major cities of North America is acknowledged and celebrated. Skywalkers tells their story and places this occupation in its historical context. The book contains numerous black and white photographs of Ironworkers, and interviews with seven Ironworkers who offer insights into their highly skilled profession. This is a much-needed social history of Iroquois people covering the years from 1850 to the present. The material is suitable for senior elementary students to university and college level.
