The Real Mohawk Girls

The women in Kahnawake talk about the series' themes and the fact that this is one of the first times First Nations women are given a chance to shine in such edgy and sexy leading-lady roles.

Mohawk Girls is a comedy-drama show on APTN following the lives of four women on a Mohawk reserve. We meet the women in Kahnawake, the Mohawk community where the show is shot, to talk about the series' themes (inter-cultural relationships, the reserve's controversial "marry out, move out" policy, the preservation of Aboriginal culture) but also to discuss the fact that this is one of the first times First Nations women are given a chance to shine in such edgy material.
