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.
@L Boria Please stop. Maybe you hate your ancestral roots but that ain't all of us. Wouldn't be no African American aka black culture without West/Central/South Africa!!! Know that.
CBS has thought me so much about New Orleans. Thank you.
CBS Sunday morning show has done a similar telecast like this back in 1996.
Look up Kadohadacho and the Wichita tribes of Louisiana. Kadohadacho is the name of mixed race of Native / African people. Kadohadacho is recognized by the Caddo nation.
they aint talk about them being the aboriginal americans
@@josh-eb4sm it's now been confirmed that so-called native Americans are actually of Asian descent in descended from a cave in China called the Red deer cave 😲
In all evidence also points to black people being the true natives of America
Such an amazing culture!! I love it!! Finally getting their recognition!!
The Prettiest!!! Won’t bow down
⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Super Sundays are THE BEST.
N.O. has such an interesting culture.
the real aboriginal americans .
No
Yes the Mount Builders of Louisiana 👍🏾💯🔥
They celebrating their culture. Jokes on y’all. They the real Indians.
No
Exactly I've seen European pre 1800 allegory in confirms it 😎
Wake it up!
So true!!!
Wrong.
This is awesome, thanks Carol Lewis my love for making me discover this
Some of these comments...smdh... greetings from New Orleans baybeh
Why is she calling them African American if they are American Indian?
Chileee!!! They drive me crazy with that. They know who’s the real deal around here 🪶💜
@@AlluringFire I hate that!!!!! Us darker skin Indians grew up keeping the fact we are Indian silent.
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.
Because they are African American..Not Native people..The are Black Masking Indian or Mardi Gras Indians..Listen to the narrative and stop judging before you listen..
@@TheEmpireStrikes74 you don’t know what you’re talking about we don’t black mask we created and have proof of the oldest Indian songs not those $5 Indians
Story time back in slavery when the underground railroad was they way for the slaves to escape the Native Indians in Louisiana would give them refugee so basically this is a way for us to forever pay respects to the Indians
@L Boria
Exactly, slaves never came from Africa..U guys were already here
@L Boria LMAO 🤣 😂 😆 got any other jokes, *Chief BS* 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
What do you mean pay respect to Indians??? They are Indians and they are paying homage to their ancestors and their original culture!!!!
So
So
So
PRETTY❤
If you are in New Orleans, the Backstreet Cultural Museum is an important place to visit to learn more about this unique culture. I am surprised it was not included in this piece. The founder is a wondeful man and a visionary.
This was absolutely Amazing.
This is bull sister dont believe this crap we been Indians wayyyyyyy before COLUMBUS wayyyyy before we were blacks, afro american, colored, negros, must I continue? Please research the truth the trip from Africa would have killed many from diseases, feces, being chained. How did they drink water food restroom breaks cmon sis dont believe we started in the 1900s we been here. Much love and respect chieftian you are a queen!!
@@assassingee My" cousin " has on an Amazing suit in this story.
@@shehound1778 oh ok my bad sis
These not Africans these the real Americans
No
So true!!
@@azborderlandsyour ignorance will destroy you and all around you. Disgusting
Love this story ❤️
Spitting image of his father. Black and Indigenous Americans are the foundation of this country but the least respected and culturally represented.
@L Boria Shut up..You just making stuff up as you go..
@L Boria
Exactly, black and Indegenous is one thing
Native Americans Native black Indians Aztecs the Mayans history ❤️
Not Aztecs nor Mayan. Very different.
These people are American Indians
Nope
@@azborderlands You have a lot to say about people you don't know
@@azborderlands😂😂 you're so jealous.
I’m going this year !!!
The crazy part is, CBS did'n't tell you the whole truth. We are the New Orleans, Indians. We are not from Africa!!! Indian Removal Act of 1830 removed my family from St James, Louisiana to the levee by Audubon Park. Then the gentrified that area and moved us into the city UPT by the St. Thomas projects and had the audacity to call us levee rats!!!!
They do this to honor the true Native American Indians who helped them escape slavery
No we don’t, we are the true natives and everyone in New Orleans knows it
@@googlea2692 😂😂😂 you a 5$
@@googlea2692it's crazy right 😂 skin get all messed up without sunscreen but got the nerve.
Natives are brown not Africanoid
@@googlea2692Lmao yeah right
God bless you all😘❤️

Hambone Hammer where you been
Down by the river making gin
Oh Little Liza Little Liza Jane 🎶
If you really take on and watch the video you can totally tell that the indigenous people had to be very particular of what they say and how they say it during this interview…Where are the photos of the Mongolian “Native Americans”teaching the indigenous Native Americans “their ways”???you can’t find it but you can find old photos of indigenous Native Americans before so-called slavery… They called us copper colored people when white’s came over and colonized this land.
Tell it!!!💪🏾
Right!!! I peeped that too.
sadly not enough know of this, i have seen evidence that shows that blacks were already here. the only accepted indians are the redskins that resemble asians in mongolia and indonesia, and whites that mingled with the redskin natives and now go around lying saying they either full or half indian.
Facts
Love it!!
The ism in academy still exists in 2024.
We been Indians way before 1400s way before 1900s this is not truth! Keep denying who we are it MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH TO KNOW MY TRUE CULTURE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY!! NOW YOU SAY WE ARE THE WANNA BE! GTFOH!!! LIES YOU TELL.
Thank you! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No you wuz not Indians 🤣
@@CompaRipperALV_CDB You don't know what you talking about brah apparently you don't do research your another one that lacks knowledge. I wasn't going to waste my time on u but I want u to explain why u lack true knowledge?
@@CompaRipperALV_CDB and we can tell you “wuz” not paying attention in school.
You're true culture is african not native american, you're stealing native american culture
Best days ro visit for Mardi Gras?
Mardi Gradi weekend up to Mardi Gras. So Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon, Fat Tues.
A perfect example of the true melting pot. This could only happen in America. Makes me proud.
@L Boria ok up Kadohadacho and the Wichita tribes of Louisiana. Kadohadacho is the name of mixed race of Native / African people. Kadohadacho is recognized by the Caddo nation
Are you really this indocinated and miseducated by these colonizers? Wow
Too bad that energy is dying
These young ppl don't care about saving culture
Look up Kadohadacho and the Wichita tribes of Louisiana. Kadohadacho is the name of mixed race of Native / African people. Kadohadacho is recognized by the Caddo nation
These are descendants of slaves who were helped escape slavery with the help of native Indians..not Indians themselves
Right so the yamassee and Seminoles never existed
This is not truth "black Indians" are the foundation of this land do the research. The land was given to another nation of people and was stolen from my people. We are not some damn African American respect who we are!! It makes me sick to see the bull sh!t they constantly put out that my people are descendant of slaves!! Who u think those slaves were?? NOT AFRICANS!!
Stop your lies.
Similar to The Bahamas Junkanoo culture
I don’t see Africans I see native Indians
All that voodoo and macumba
Which religion allows you to bow down in front of tribal leaders… this has nothing to do with Catholics
Who said it did 😂😂
@@me-bx7grI was told ppl who celebrate this are Catholic lol
These people have no clue about Mardi Gras. All New Orleanians will completely ignore discomfort for that moment of exploding in the early spring sunlight.
It's so interesting that African descendant people in Brazil during Carnival display African iconography and images. The costumes are regalia from African tribes. America with its sick Afro phobia makes AA represent another group other than who they come from. Sad.
It's interesting how you complete missed the entire point of the piece and the relationship between the enslaved community and native Americans
It's your willingness to always find a problem with the American Descendant of Slaves community for me
It's your ignorance for me
It's your willingness to not educate yourself for me
It's your racism for me
👍👍👍
The culture of masking Indian was not created nor influenced by the American establishment. Well over a century ago the culture emerged from the spirit, heart and soul and its originators. You know what you know. It's in the DNA of most.
I know you aint trying to brag about Brazil,/Africa etc. With all those cake soap industries making millions of dollars from so called Africans whitening their skin.
It is a old racist practice in Brazil called (blanqueomento) which means whitening the race. You have the nerve to talk about masquerading as someone else's culture. Yall be trying to be Caucasians in black face in Africa and Latin America.
You're ignorant and don't know what you speak of. A lot are not African.
This an insult to real Native Americans to these America's
How?
For your information, some masking Indians are Native American by blood. Know what you say before you speak.
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.
@@theDanceStandard you also have Black Indians from New Orleans and Louisiana that is the first Natives of this Land(i.e. Folsom People) before the Red man indian.
It's an insult that the 5 civilized tribes. didn't compensate the reparations that was owed to the Black slaves the indians owned. descendants of Slaves is still waiting for their ancestors reservations,land,casinos,banks,etc.
1866 Indian Treaties which was passed by Congress but never was established.
Isn't this cultural cultural appropriation? @Cbs Mornings. Why don't have invite real Native American chiefs to share their stories presently in 2022 as well?
Did you watch the piece? Obviously you didn't because if you had you would know the answer to your question!
It's your laziness for me
It's your desire for a gotcha moment for me
It's your racism
You're SUPER IGNORANT. The history of this goes back to SLAVERY when the Native Seminole people would HELP AFRICANS ESCAPE from slavery. The Seminole warriors raided plantations, freeing freeing Africans. These Africans Native peoples formed communities living in the swamps TOGETHER! They married each other and FOUGHT yt people TOGETHER. The Mardi gras Indians is a tribute to Native peoples for their help and support against YOU, oops🙄👆🏾
@@makeitmakesense2616 it's not being Racists if your culture is being stolen.
@@Kate-yb5ig how is the culture being stolen? Again did you watch the piece?
The American Descendant of Slaves community in New Orleans is honoring the native - specifically Seminole community - for their willingness to not only assist the enslaved ancestors of those who are Mardi Gras Indians current day to escape slavery but also for teaching the formerly enslaved how to survive in the bayous and swamps of lower Louisiana
It's not my fault, the American Descendant of Slaves community fault or the Indigenous People fault that Europeans decided to be barbarians and force the removal of native people and enslavement of Africans
Anyway don't get mad at history LEARN FROM IT
@@Kate-yb5ig PS I'm a Descendant of the Seminole tribe of Louisiana and of the American Descendant of Slaves community and 3rd generation Mardi Gras Indian and have had my familes ancestry investigated by Dr. Henry Louis Gates of Harvard University
So not only do I have my receipts
But again whose stolen history my baby??
