- The bright colored suits worn by Black Masking Indians on Mardi Gras Day and Super Sunday are hard to miss! From the intricate bead work to the traditions they hold, the making of these suits is a ritual in itself.

Those costumes are absolutely breathtaking! I can't believe I never heard of this before
Come to New Orleans! S÷ them for yourself. Book 2 years in advance for mardi gras!
Beautiful. Very colorful.
I’m glad to know about them and this tradition.
I think most of the Choctaw genes now live in the black population. MG Indians are the most beautiful thing ever!
Facts Sister, We are Aboriginal to America Sister

My Regular ancestors fought for their freedom.We learn we lost lots of land
Hell yeah 💯‼️
so beautiful 🥰
Amazing!
They are beautiful and 100% Indian. Not black not African Not Native …American Indian that’s it! The heavy melanin does not mean African period. We gotta stop attributing our culture to the continent of Africa.
Lady they could all blend in without a second look 😂 in Benin, stop it.
Where in Africa they are doing this? You mentioned African culture and I don’t correlate.
The needle don’t lie!!!!
I love it. Surprised they have not been shamed for cultural appropriation.
They are not appropriating culture. The folks have Choctaw history and genetics. Going back 300 years.
@@MarieLaveau56 Sarcasm also has a long history.
We're indigenous to these lands over billions of years even before the ice age we are never appropriating anything @@RupertFoulmouth
@@patriceharrison1011 😂😂😂
@@MarieLaveau56no this beaded costume and most things from New Orleans comes directly from Africa. Look at Benin for example and their traditions that date back centuries.
Hang out around the native american culture and you see a couple of days quite a bit actually. We call them our, black peeps
What?
Naw, the so called "Black Peeps" are the culture.
Imagine this in Boston
Boston has an Indigenous parade every year called Carnival and people dress up in feathers and dance too.
They aren't african they are the real American Indians
😂😂😂😂😂
Truth 🪶🦅
Wrong, because Natives took yall in you took in our identity too. We made you a part of tribes, now yall think you were here first😂
@@user-cv8qd2nh2m yes you are correct 100%
right she starting off saying black masking indians then contradict with that african bit smh
🤔
Im that pretty big chief
Nothing about this is African
These are in no way inspired by African culture
1000% false
Look at Benin for example and there traditions where this come directly from. From the beaded costumes down to the religion.
Facts!
@@Jessie_wk3 actually, you’ve been taught wrong through American education. This is old news for people living in the south..if you’re not from the south, you probably just learned about this. I mean just last week I went to a genealogy event and white people hosting the event have admitted to our face that we are indigenous.
@@Jessie_wk3Name a source
That's a African tempo
You mean they're stealing someone else's culture
They’re Indigenous
They were litteraly taught how to make th clothing by nearby indigenous populations. If it was a problem they would have said something by now. Please shut up
@@spicedcoffee9902we are the indigenous do a thorough search
Watch a documentary “We Won’t Bow Down”. Educate yourself before making such a foolish statement.
@@spicedcoffee9902Wrong Mardi Gras is the oldest Indigenous American tradition. They tried to rewrite our history but couldn't take our traditions from us. My family are straight Seminole Indians from Florida to Louisiana.
