Interview of Mike Deer, a Native from the Caughnawaga Reserve in Quebec and Construction Superintendent for the Dominion Bridge Company. Deer recalls his first job with the company in 1937 as an apprentice welder in an assembly gang and later as a supervisor and inspector of a welding crew. Some of the projects Deer worked on include the power dam at Thessalon, Ontario, a paper mill at Bathurst, New Brunswick, bridge work at Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, oil tanks at Sept Îles, Quebec, head frames for a mine at Chibougamau, Quebec, and the construction of a television microwave tower atop a 1200 foot hill at Rimouski, Quebec, and his present work at the Churchill Power Project. Also, noteworthy discussion of other Native "high steel" workers including Mohawks from the Confederacy at Brantford, Ontario and the Tuscarora from Buffalo, New York. Comments about Bill Bell, General Manager of the Eastern Division of the company, metallurgist Gordon Cape and Julian Jacobs, a Native construction supervisor with Dominion Bridge, round out the interview.
