First of all, I would like to say that I like the costumes of Indians uses.
I like the words that Tyrone Casby said '' The Mardi Gras Indian is very integral. It's a Mardi Gras in Black communiy''.
In fact, a lot of traditicions of New Orleans come of community neccesity, Social age is an important factor in New Orleans. Some Indians are poor and they need money, these parades moving commerce. For example the food, the drink, that people buy.
I took this phono on Sunday Night! Was the first time that I saw an Indian in French Quater.
Hi Marcela,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you were able to *see* the Mardi Gras Indians firsthand! The Indians have become a very important part of neighborhood culture and history.
