Spudwrench - Kahnawake Man (Clip 2)

Randy Horne is a high-steel worker from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake, near Montreal. He's one of many Mohawk high-steel workers who have travelled the continent, working on some of the world's tallest buildings. In this clip he talks about the job of a riveter. Horne was known as "Spudwrench" during the 1990 Oka Crisis. He was behind the barricades, resisting the efforts of the town of Oka to expand a golf course onto Native land. This is the third film in Alanis Obomsawin's series on the events of 1990.
