# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FILM - Éire agus Na Chéad Náisiún - Ireland and the First Nations
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Working in conjunction with Ireland’s Irish Language television station TG4, the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk is proud to present the documentary film  Éire agus Na Chéad Náisiúin or Ireland and the First Nations at 7 PM Thursday Mar 26, 2026.

Filmed as a road movie across the U.S., this compelling film offers a dual perspective—examining the Irish immigrant experience through both our own lens and that of the Indigenous peoples impacted by our arrival. This film was produced by Ronin Films with funding from the ILBF and Coimisiún na Meáin. 

From trade and war to alliances and betrayal, this film explores the complex and often contradictory roles Irish settlers played in shaping Native American history. Featuring contributions from leading Irish historians and prominent First Nations voices, the documentary sheds light on how Irish emigrants were both the oppressed and the oppressors.

Key stories include that of Sir William Johnson, an 18th-century Irish trader and landowner who forged deep ties with the Mohawk Nation and whose legacy lives on in upstate New York. Viewers will also meet Mohawk elders Kay Olan and Tom Porter, who reflect on Johnson’s role and his lasting impact on their native lands.

The film is approximately 80 minutes long. Parts are in Irish and Native American languages with English subtitles.

Sponsored by the Oneida Indian Foundation, you can attend this film in the H.A.R.P. Museum on the second floor of the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley, 623 Columbia St, Utica.
