Description
The Black Indian Parade in New Orleans. (Also called Mardi Gras Indian Parade.) Its 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 two of the Spy Boys in this view from the street. The tall yellow plumes belong to the Big Chief in the back.
Because of these structures in the Tribe this Tradition went virtually unknown outside the poor, black communities in New Orleans until the 1970's.
