Description
The Black Indian Parade in New Orleans. (Also called Mardi Gras Indian Parade.) It is a colorful tradition that dates back to the days of Slavery. There is a structure & hierarchy to the tribes. They include the Chief, Flag Boy, Spy Boys, Call Boys, Second-liners, and so on. Here we see the plumes of the Big Chief; the leader Of the Tribe. And around him the Second- Liners. They make the music for the Tribe. Here one keeps the rhythm on a bottle & spoon.
Because of these structures in the Tribe this Tradition went virtually unknown outside the poor, black communities in New Orleans until the 1970's.
