I really wish someone would make more documentaries based on this. I think it’s important especially during this time for other young people to know their true history.
I am so grateful I am now learning this! I love our culture and our rich history! I’m crying because the spiritual gifts this is blessing me with seeing how we share and our gifts with the youth and the communities to come.
The costumes are so "beautiful" as you can see nothing but the love of life is expressed in each feather that is handcrafted by the craftsmen that assemble them. Good to see traditions being kept alive.
The culture represents the free black Indians expressing the spirit of our individual creative craft of sewing.I'm a pretty White Eagle 🦅 fly high needle & thread killl'em dead.Our tribe respect all Indians....
The pale faces speak no truth. Our culture is not borrow from no one. Our ancestors, the great grandparents passed it down. It's in our blood. We survived your horrific slaughter of our people. May the most high/great spirit protect us. You may have enslaved some, but our minds are free. Shout out to the fallen soldier. Dying free is always better than living enslave. Tribe is cute, but we are a ñation.

Oooohhhh... so this is about 9 minutes of Master P and creation of 1 of his music videos added on to Dr. Maurice M. Martinez's groundbreaking 1976 documentary, "Black Indians of New Orleans"!!
The only problem is AFRICAN-AMERICANS is a misnomer. That term didn't exist until 1988 from the trader Jesse Jackson and a couple of his friends. We are indigenous to America.
@Da Boot dude believe what you want. I have records on my family. If you want to be from Africa be my guest. I'm not about to argue with someone who hasn't done his own genealogy. If you want to truth it's there or read a book of lies. It's your life do what you want Mr. Africa. I guess your African family abandoned you because they sure not claiming you.
@@Stacks5513 I don't know why y'all worried about these Hating Ass hunky's making comments. Ain't nothing but a bunch of dick sucking ass peasants that's not from here and want to be you.
@@ChiefExecutorCreek once our people fully understand who they are we can begin to really live. They pale faces don't hate us, they envy us and want to be us.
Black people are the indians the early explorer's found here when they arrived. Africa didnt give Us our look. The sun did. We always look this way. Peace to All the American Aborigine.
The funny thing is......They are the real true blood and don't know it. The first Mardi Gras Indians was est in 1700s. Africans didn't come until the 1800s. They were already here. Love ya and keep it up fellow, Niiji. I plan to come home an teach my daughter our ways.
When I was in Cali a Mexican told me that Louisiana Indian culture isn't real or recognized. He had no idea of the Kadohadacho(mixed African and Native) people. Kadohadacho is recognized by the Caddo nation. Many people of African decent in Louisiana have Native blood. Wichita tribe, Natchitoches, tribe and more. Their were pyramids I'm Louisiana built by natives(TroyVille Pyramid). In the 1931 U.S. census instructions, African people mixed with Native had their race changed to Negro, look up the 1931 census instructions on race.
By now this should not be news although I know it will be to many. So called BLACK people are the true so called Indians. Although we are neither BLACK or INDIAN. We aren’t crayons and this isn’t India. Both BLACK and INDIAN are corporate dead in law statuses, Civiliter Mortuus. We have a nationality. We are Muurs of Washitaw Empire. The Moroccan Empire. The indigenous sovereigns of the land. We’ve been here in the land of milk and honey. The oldest bones found on the continent belonged to a Muurish woman...Wake up This land is ours...Islam 🇲🇦
The word Indian originates from the latin word "Indigo". The people in India were not originally called Indians. Its all part of the bullshitting story that us Aborigines only are called Indian because Columbus thought he landed in India. Thats all a lie.
Black indians pay hommage to Native American Indians for sheltering them during the tough times. That's how the black culture on Mardi Gras came about. Black Indians also pay hommage to their African ancestors... Lets not twist things..
@@yasmeenalwadud4559 Columbus came to america 200 years before the first subsaharan of the transatlantic trade arrived. So how could he had said that, about black people in amercia???
@@user-ch4kp9qc3b well the slave trade didn’t bring “black people” here. We were the first inhabitants here. And he and many others traveled here multiple times to the Americas before the ‘slave trades’. Also, I think it’s important to know that Columbus was a “black” European. But its well documented that we were already here. You just have to look in the right place to find it because they sensor and hide the truth.
We have to keep our culture alive. I'm sad that my Indian brothers allowed the film crew to interject the African narrative. Even if there was a couple of Africans they become us because we are melanated people and was the majority. We don't become Africans. Some of these guys needed a lil money and allow a lil piece of African in. But know this my New Orleans brothers you are the original people. Hu na nae, tribe up, Ayyy ay ay Ayyy, ay pocae wae.
That ridiculous. There were no black Indians before colonialism. These are very beautiful costumes but they are merely costumes.they are not indigenous
What does that mean? They recognize when this started . They know they they are the descendants of Africans. The have created their own thing for parade and it is a beautiful thing , but they certainly aren’t indigenous people
@@Poshgardenherbs If black men didn’t prefer jezabelles there wouldn’t be as many. Black men size up women sexually and the first conversation is sexual, perverted or profanity. Keep it 💯
Black indians culture on Mardi Gras is to pay hommage to Native American Indians for sheltering them during the tough times. That's how the black culture on Mardi Gras came about. Black Indians also pay hommage to their African ancestors...

@@eyeseezombies9574 that isn't a point of contention with me. I know that Africans and the indigenous population mixed just like white people mixed with both people as well. What I argue against is black people claiming that they have no African ancestry and that black people in the Americas predate European Colonialism. Which is ridiculous
@@d.d.sarason8749 No, don't try to clean that up. You said that "Indians owned our African Ancestors" and that not true in its entirely. Some natives tribes were being wiped out by other tribes who made treaties with the Europeans. The tribes who were being wiped out took in African runaway slaves and also married Africans, because if a African child was born to a free parent that made them free. The African and the Native mixed with each other to free themselves and to preserve themselves and their bloodline. I know this because my grandmother, great grandmother and family before them passed down these stories and all of the research corroborate it. I know my family Native history all the wY down to the actual location.
