This culture was hit by twin hurricanes in New Orleans. One was Katrina. The other is gentrification. But the Indians are keeping it alive, in spite of everything. Proud of y'all.
Thanks 😊
The hurricane was artificial too meant to wipe out the indigenous population ppl mistake as black Americans
I was just in New Orleans for lions game and I played a lady a video and ask what were they saying and she said they were Indians ? Now I see this. What are the speaking ? I thought these folks were Bruh
🪶🏹
Black people just didn't own nothing it wasn't gentrification
The most amazing thing about this is the beauty of our people not fighing, having fun and embracing this heritage/ tradition!
Right
I lived in the 8th Ward where the tribes would meet up and have these “battles”. It was GLORIOUS!
Yes!! I love watching them go head to head
i'm sooooo jealous sis
39 years on this earth and I have never seen my people like this. Pretty Effin amazing. We don’t have stuff like this in VA. Thank you.
I know
Mm this shhhh is nostalgic dammm
Yes they killed the BLACK Indian culture in VA. Look up Walter Plecker.
Salute bro! I'm in VA as well and have never seen anything like this.
Seeing this makes me so proud to be creole & from louisiana❤❤
I luv the culture, dnt let it die. Keep it going fam.
Thank you for posting, sharing...I'm California born and raised and had NO idea this exist to this extent. I've only seen the end result of the celebration in the French Quarter. I am intrigued and at the same time sad for missing 37 years of knowledge of this part of culture. I am appreciative for the exposure. Thank you so much.
Yes, the culture is mysterious but yet beautiful. 💚💜💛 glad you liked it.
Sis Black Mardi Gras be on a whole northern level
Take a break from LA and come to N.O. New Orleans is the most Afrocentric in the 🇺🇸. I so love my city I can't never trade it for the world
@Jalea it’s not Afrocentric most people from New Orleans are natives and have no clue
@@googlea2692 yes it is point blank ok🙂
Can't stop, won't stop. Won't Bow Down..... Indians are Eternal
All on a Mardi Gras Day Royce Osborn and his brother Alton, my cousins! The Skeleton gang! This makes me think of them ❤️ and how much I love New Orleans
💛💜💚
I’m from Houston and I never missed the experience now that my baby one we coming down this year so she can experience true black heritage we are the indigenous people these are our land and I love how New Orleans preserve our history I wish you still wanna do the same maybe New Orleans need to come here and show them how it’s done
Yess so true!!! The history and culture that we have maintained is breathtaking
You know this is only people from New Orleans culture not all blacks? That’s like saying Puerto rican culture is my culture when I’m Mexican
Born and raised in the 9thward, right down the street from the Florida project. Mother and father born and raised in the Desire Project in the 60s and 70s. This is one of many black cultural characteristics that is historically a representation of the real New Orleans. No offense to the French quarters,canal Street,or St. Charles avenue Historical festivities but this is what I grew up witnessing. We have to preserve our BLACK culture because white(newcomers and native whites) trying to make it obsolete and extinct.
Agreed!!! The culture must live on
YES INDEED 👍😊 I GREW UP IN THE 9TH WARD IN THE 1980S I MISS IT DOWN THERE I WILL BE COMING BACK HOME SOON LOVE YALL 💟
I'm on independence and N. Derbigny 👍
Smmfh. You blacks always crying racism & that you feel discriminated but when i hear ya talk....the RACIST ones be YALL. Everything us black this and black that and rarely EVER want to befriend someone from another race. Yet, the whites and Latinos i grew up with were the opposite. COOL with everyone regardless of color race or religion. Maybe Yall should try being more open.
Hi, I support the Indian culture and everything Black New Orleans because without black culture in this city, it would not be beautiful. Period.
And I see problematic oppression in our beloved New Orleans, and I am here to APPRECIATE NOT APPROPRIATE black people, art,and culture
I'm a white 37 year old woman from metairie
Yall keep on, keep loving and taking care of each other and know there are some whites who really do love and want to show yall respect (wish there were more of us)
💟

My grandmother used to tell me that her grandmother Evelyn Bridgewater would dance and chant similar to something like this, they were black chahtas from Baton Rouge and Natchez, MS she commonly referred to her people as Creole Indians
This was awesome!
So,So POWERFUl !!
This is how it’s done!
Beautiful interaction between the two Chiefs!….in song and dance.
They did their thang!
Thank you so much for posting this. Many weren't able to get down there this year.
💛💜💚 2022 will be awesome
Amazing! I must witness this one day.🔥🔥🔥
I can’t even describe how this touched my soul man…it resonated with me…It made me want to be at the next one frfr.. much love 💯💯
Yes listening and watching Indians does something to me too 💚💪🏾💜 much love
@@UrbanMommy Indians ? Are you smoking crack ? These are African Americans. Dressed up like some stoned Big Bird, acting like idiots. This is a pathetic, openly sickening attempt at hijacking another culture. These FOOLS should be ashamed of themselves.
This young man is on fire 🔥. He is a young man of many talents, & very kind to those he encounter. I had the opportunity to meet him personally today, after he played the bass drum, & cymbal for my cousin in law Frederick's funeral. The Zulu organization, & the second line band did an awesome job B4 & after the funeral service today. 💯🤗❤️ Thank you 😊
Yes!! He is great
Felt this deep down in my bone's!❤🎯🐆
Bruh I swear to God mannn I can feel this. And I don't even swear a lot.
My spirit man was just quickened. Godspeed!
There's no way you can watch this and not feel something spiritual move through you. When they try to say we ain't got no culture ... You show'm this!
Facts
Woooow! I didnt know anything about this , i felt deep in my spirit this whole video! It was amzing to watch , made me want to witness it in person.
The ancestors shall always make their presence known through the descendants who still carry on the tradition and culture! Muscogee Creek father side of family in Alabama. Creole and Seminole on mother's side of family in Lafayette Louisiana.
💚💚beautiful, thanks for that
To the black people in the comment section denying Africa. Learn about African drumming, dance, and singing. Ya'll sound ignorant. There's too much evidence with first person accounts, narratives, and artifacts showing Africans were enslaved here. Why don't you people have the intelligence to acknowledge we have both heritages! We have African and Native ancestry! There is no competition! It's not one or the other! Africans started this tradition as a thank you for the Natives who helped them here! Acknowledging and celebrating the relationship between bith groups. Stop crapping on African ancestry. Celebrate both heritages. Smh.
Thank You, people are being ignorant they don't know anything.
@jacklyneverage3881 Thank you for setting the record straight, it’s ppl claiming this “We are Indigenous”mess that are hijacking the actual tradition of the Mardi Gras Indians also known as Black Masking Indians.
The actual history was that Black New Orleanians started dressing up as Native Americans to pay homage to the Indigenous ppl whom helped African Americans escape from slavery & survive in the Louisiana wilderness, it’s been a tradition since the late 19th century. This is common knowledge amongst Black ppl of NO. These outside ppl, whom are Not even familiar with the tradition, are literally trying to erase Black American culture, saying we are Not of African descent when New Orleans was actually a major slave port & played a significant role in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, more men, women, & children were brought to New Orleans & sold in slave markets than any other city in the country.
New Orleans is actually considered the most Africanized city in the U.S., the influence of the enslaved West Africans can be seen thru the music to the cuisine. Black Americans developed our own culture in America but Not without some African influences, especially New Orleans. As American descendants of slaves we are of African ancestry to include admixtures due to slavery such as European & some Native ancestry. Those that are legit AA/Native acknowledged both sides of their ancestry, which is something this new small subset of Black ppl don’t subscribe to & in the process they are claiming AA traditions as their own & completing erasing the significance of our African ancestry in the culture. I’m noticing more Black Americans starting to push back bcuz it is erasure of our culture that we originated as American descendants of slaves.
The real indigenous americans!!
Ur standing on ya own land!!

No cell phones and more feathers 35 years ago, Claiborne at overpass. Nostalgia.
Too many phones these days, but in a way I’m glad. We get to see these memories in real life as opposed to our memories. I only wish I recorded back in the 90s when I was first exposed. Those were great times

@@IAmRoderickDeVaughn but I'm not from there I'm from New Orleans and I don't know about them but I won't my city back
Dog it a plan plan demek not a pandemic demek
The mighty 9
What is the purpose/meaning of this?
Real question
We have a few videos that explain the Mardi Gras Indian culture.
It goes back to slavery and blacks mingling with the Native Americans.
To pay homage we “play Indian” . We use music and beautiful suits to show respect.
What you are witnessing is two Indian chiefs meeting up. They are from two different groups. Some Indians don’t get along and will fight, but these two battled by song and in the end, respected each other
Glad Katrina didn’t wash our culture away! They can try and gentrify it but they’ll never take our soul! If you know you know!
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yeah, right!!!🤣... LMAO 😆🤣.
