Select the word that means a large, impressive building.
A visitor to New York City who admires an iconic edifice such as the Empire State Building
is probably oblivious to the fact that Native American steelworkers helped build it. More
than a century ago, Mohawk laborers from Kahnawake, a reservation east of Montreal,
began working on steel bridges and other construction projects. The pay was good, so
many young men began commuting to New York City from Canadian reservations. Many
people don't know that hundreds of Mohawk steelworkers have worked high above the
city on beams of steel. Still today, about ten percent of New York's two thousand
steelworkers are Mohawk, many of them fourth-generation.
