15 years strong visiting New Orleans. Without a doubt the most culturally important and significant city and people in America. No place like it. I love it.

I wish I would of seen more of Dr. Maurice Martinez. He wrote the book “No, I won’t bow down on that dirty ground”. Great book. I highly recommend it if you want to learn more about the history of the Mardi Gras Indians.

They are Not American Indian..That's even an incorrect term itself..They are African Americans who mask as Mardi Gras Indians to pay homage to Native Americans to thank them for giving run away slaves/& marrons refugee during slavery..It is an over 150 year tradition in New Orleans.

@realshaho3180 2 года назад

Actually it is not. This tradition began to honor the indigenous Americans who saved our ancestors that were runaway slaves. It dates back to the 1800s and many of the people who participate are Afro-indigenous themselves, including myself and my family. Please do your research. We have also been celebrated and thanked by Indigenous groups across the US for honoring their ancestors and showing the world our strength and survival despite colonialism.
