Artist's 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 a Flag Boy. He carries the Flag Banner of the Tribe, and he uses it to signal the other tribe members, as well as to identify the Tribe from a distance to other rival or friendly Tribes who may be nearby..
Because of these structures within the Tribe this Tradition went virtually unknown outside the poor, black communities in New Orleans until the 1970's.

About Earth And Spirit
Hi, I'm Jason, the photographer behind Earth And Spirit. In my day-job I'm a Coach. I love to help people find greater freedom in life, and live the kind of life they dream about. Part of my own dream life is to spend as much time as I can on the road, with my camera in hand; just exploring this amazing planet of ours. I fell in love with Photography in my late teens and taught myself to shoot. I spent hours on end in bookshops; discovering the works of photographic giants like Steve McCurry, James Nachtwey, Sabastiao Salgado, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sam Abell, and Galen Rowell. Freedom, Travel, and experiencing the Sacred are recurring themes that I like to explore in my photographic work. My goal with each photograph is to take you...
