The costumes are so "beautiful" as you can see nothing but the love of life is expressed in each feather that is handcrafted by the craftsmen that assemble them. Good to see traditions being kept alive.
The pale faces speak no truth. Our culture is not borrow from no one. Our ancestors, the great grandparents passed it down. It's in our blood. We survived your horrific slaughter of our people. May the most high/great spirit protect us. You may have enslaved some, but our minds are free. Shout out to the fallen soldier. Dying free is always better than living enslave.

By now this should not be news although I know it will be to many. So called BLACK people are the true so called Indians. Although we are neither BLACK or INDIAN. We aren’t crayons and this isn’t India. Both BLACK and INDIAN are corporate dead in law statuses, Civiliter Mortuus. We have a nationality. We are Muurs of Washitaw Empire. The Moroccan Empire. The indigenous sovereigns of the land. We’ve been here in the land of milk and honey. The oldest bones found on the continent belonged to a Muurish woman...Wake up This land is ours...Islam 🇲🇦
The word Indian originates from the latin word "Indigo". The people in India were not originally called Indians. Its all part of the bullshitting story that us Aborigines only are called Indian because Columbus thought he landed in India. Thats all a lie.
Black indians pay hommage to Native American Indians for sheltering them during the tough times. That's how the black culture on Mardi Gras came about. Black Indians also pay hommage to their African ancestors... Lets not twist things..
@@yasmeenalwadud4559 Columbus came to america 200 years before the first subsaharan of the transatlantic trade arrived. So how could he had said that, about black people in amercia???
@@JOSECARABALLO-e1n well the slave trade didn’t bring “black people” here. We were the first inhabitants here. And he and many others traveled here multiple times to the Americas before the ‘slave trades’. Also, I think it’s important to know that Columbus was a “black” European. But its well documented that we were already here. You just have to look in the right place to find it because they sensor and hide the truth.
When I was in Cali a Mexican told me that Louisiana Indian culture isn't real or recognized. He had no idea of the Kadohadacho(mixed African and Native) people. Kadohadacho is recognized by the Caddo nation. Many people of African decent in Louisiana have Native blood. Wichita tribe, Natchitoches, tribe and more. Their were pyramids I'm Louisiana built by natives(TroyVille Pyramid). In the 1931 U.S. census instructions, African people mixed with Native had their race changed to Negro, look up the 1931 census instructions on race.

WRONG...the first "slaves" (kidnap victims) arrived in the New Orleans ports in 1719 one year after the territory was founded in 1718, it's documented, mardi gras "indian maskers" didn't start their masking tradition until the 1800's AFTER slavery hence paying homage to the "native" indigenous tribes who gave New Orleans runaway slaves refuge during that time, Lafayette Louisiana has a similar mardi gras "indian" celebration as well albeit not as popular as New Orleans I might add....CHA WA, COOCHIE MA! 🪶⚜️
@tiggapee , lol, I'm quite familiar with this subject you speak of, I'm alluding to the time and history of New Orleans mardi gras Indians and it's inception in history, it would behoove you to research the history of New Orleans' participation in the slave trade, I already did before I post comments regarding such, ALSO, I operated the second Black bookstore in New Orleans on then, Dryades street (now, Oretha Castle Hayley blvd) in 1971 under the owner, Louis Harding (see his TH-cam video ,"a loud color"). New Orleans was the LARGEST slave importer in America during that time according to history.
Well, our families must’ve went down two different paths because I am from New Orleans. I grew up there all my life until Katrina came and my family all their life. My family story ain’t like that and we’re not mixed neither plus I’ve done my research. I used birth certificates, family stories, Bibles, which you should know about the Bible part that’s what we kept our stuff at. and post offices so maybe your story and my story different so my bad for trying to tell you about your story.

We have to keep our culture alive. I'm sad that my Indian brothers allowed the film crew to interject the African narrative. Even if there was a couple of Africans they become us because we are melanated people and was the majority. We don't become Africans. Some of these guys needed a lil money and allow a lil piece of African in. But know this my New Orleans brothers you are the original people. Hu na nae, tribe up, Ayyy ay ay Ayyy, ay pocae wae.
That ridiculous. There were no black Indians before colonialism. These are very beautiful costumes but they are merely costumes.they are not indigenous

@@d.d.sarason8749 No, don't try to clean that up. You said that "Indians owned our African Ancestors" and that not true in its entirely. Some natives tribes were being wiped out by other tribes who made treaties with the Europeans. The tribes who were being wiped out took in African runaway slaves and also married Africans, because if a African child was born to a free parent that made them free. The African and the Native mixed with each other to free themselves and to preserve themselves and their bloodline. I know this because my grandmother, great grandmother and family before them passed down these stories and all of the research corroborate it. I know my family Native history all the wY down to the actual location.
