| Summary | "Mohawk author Patricia Morris Buckley tells the story of the brave skywalkers--Native men who work as high steelworkers, building bridges and skyscrapers no matter the dangers"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | High above the ground, generation after generation, Native workers called skywalkers have sculpted city skylines, balancing on narrow beams, facing down terrifying heights and heartbreaking loss. These skywalkers who dared to touch the heavens have built a legacy of landmarks all over the North American continent--and even today, there are Native Americans still climbing up among the clouds, brave enough to walk the sky. Patricia Morris Buckley (Mohawk) tells the story of the skywalkers, whose bravery and tragedies are captured in watercolors by artist E. B. Lewis (Lenni-Lenape). |
