Is it true that American Indians have no fear of heights?
Someone once told me that iron workers are often American Indians because they have no fear of heights. Is this true? If so, is it some sort of genetic thing or is it a cultural thing?
the natives you are referring to are Mohawks..my nation. there is a long tradition of our men becoming iron workers and building many of the skyscrapers found in nyc and chicago and other major cities.
it all goes back generations when a bridge was being built through one of our reserves in canada. after the workers went home, our men would go to the job site and check out what they had done. one day the foreman saw them walking on the beams high above the water as if they were fearless. he then hired many of them to help with the construction, saying they walked at great heights on narrow beams as if they have no fear at all. it stuck.
so do we? well..i'm not afraid of heights and remember climbing trees way higher than i should have at a young age. but i am sure this is not so for everyone. it is a generalization.
