Brooklyn on Film/To Brooklyn and Back: A Mohawk Journey

"To Brooklyn and Back" is the personal story of Mohawk filmmaker Reaghan Tarbell from Kahnawake, Quebec as she explores her roots and traces the connections of her family to the once legendary Mohawk community in Brooklyn through the stories of the women who lived there.

The Kahnawake Mohawks of Quebec, Canada occupied a 10 square block hub in the North Gowanus section of Brooklyn, known as Little Caughnawaga, for over 50 years.

The men, skilled ironworkers, came to New York in search of work, and helped to build iconic New York structures such as, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the George Washington Bridge, and many others. They brought their wives, children and often, extended family with them.
