  • 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.

    I think most of the Choctaw genes now live in the black population. MG Indians are the most beautiful thing ever!

    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.

      ​@@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.
