From a media release:
Mohawk Girls Season Three Debuts Tuesday, October 27 – 9 p.m. Exclusively on APTN
APTN’s (Aboriginal Peoples Television Network) critically-acclaimed and much-loved dramedy Mohawk Girls returns for season three. Our four leading ladies deal with wild situations and unexpected choices as they continue to define what it is to be a modern-day Mohawk woman – not that any of them can agree on what that means. And their families and friends only make matters worse.
In season three, Mohawk Girls will lead the audience further into Mohawk culture, as the girls visit the longhouse and learn ancestral methods of survival while navigating the oh-so-complicated dating world. Sex, romance, tradition: Mohawk Girls celebrates friendship while never shying away from the complexities of life on the rez.
Filmed and set in Montreal and the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, the six-episode, third season of the half-hour dramedy premieres Tuesday, October 27 with back-to-back episodes airing weekly on APTN East and APTN HD at 9 p.m. ET, and on APTN West at 9 p.m.
Viewers may also delve into the world of Mohawk Girls via the interactive website, with web-exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, a quiz app and entertaining graphic content. The devoted online community of the series can connect via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr.
This season Bailey (Jenny Pudavick) continues on her quest to become the “perfect†Mohawk and discovers a side of herself no one saw coming. Caitlin (Heather White), still having her life ruled by bad choices and bad boy Butterhead (Meegwun Fairbrother), takes a hold of her own destiny. After her embarrassing meltdown at Lollipop’s (Devery Jacobs) wedding, perfectionist Zoe (Brittany Leborgne) spins headlong down the rabbit hole of kinky sex. Ever the fish-out-of-water, Anna (Maika Harper) has found love with Mohawk heartthrob Thunder (Kyle Nobess), but will she ever truly belong?
Returning as the girls’ friends, foes and family members: Rachelle White Wind (Dream Big, Moccasin Flats), Glen Gould (Da Vinci’s City Hall), Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves, Legends of the Fall) and Alain Chanoine (The Amazing Race Canada).
