I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to relate with some of the dating dilemmas in this new television series out of Canada. Mohawk Girls follows four dynamic 20-somethings as they try to figure out what it means to be a modern-day Mohawk woman. Like all young women looking to make their mark in the world, they face the challenge of balancing family tradition and acceptance in their community with the intoxicating freedom of new experiences – only with an added level of difficulty: finding love and happiness in a small town where everybody has dated everybody.
The series takes place in Montreal and the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory in Quebec. Bailey (Jenny Pudavick) wants to be the “perfect” Mohawk, but she’s ready to see what life beyond the “rez” feels like. Caitlin (Heather White) craves love from all the wrong men, including her absent dad and bad-boy boyfriend. Type-A Zoe (Brittany LeBorgne) is driven by the need to succeed while serving her community, but she’s got a secret, kinky, side to her. Anna (Maika Harper), the newcomer to the “rez”, has a Mohawk father and a white mother and is having a hard time figuring out the rules in Kahnawake.
Unfortunately for the U.S. folks, the show will only be airing on Canadian channels OMNI and APTN. However there are plans for the episodes to be available for streaming online. Maybe we can make some noise and someone will pick it up for U.S. distribution? I really hope so because I was able to get a sneak peek at the first episode and was laughing the whole time.
Mohawk Girls premieres Sunday, November 23rd at 9 p.m. on OMNI 1 and Tuesday, November 25th at 9 p.m. on APTN.
