"Mohawk Girls"

"Mohawk Girls"Mohawk Girls
(2005, 63 min.) CANADA
Director: Tracey Deer (Mohawk)
Produced by: Rezolution Pictures and the National Film Board of Canada

With insight, humor and compassion, the filmmaker provides an insider's look at life on the Kahnawake reserve, just across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal. Portraits of three young Mohawk women at the threshold of adulthood reveal their hopes and heartaches, and the challenges of growing up Kanienkeha:ka.
