    I'm french all I know about this culture is what I saw on the show treme
    yet I feel this is something we should all pay attention to because it's about love. the red man helped the black man. and that's the way to follow. a man helps a man regardless of their differences

      @creekmary1Not to be mean or ugly, but do you know anything about why they are continuing this culture??? Please make it make sense for me! Did you research on why these wonderful men are trying to keep this culture alive? I’m from New Orleans and know why these MEN take they time to keep this culture going. Respectfully✌🏽☮️🕊️

    I am from Trinidad and Tobago, a country from the caribbean. We celebrate Carnival around the same time as Mardi Gras, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. We call it Carnival Tuesday. The Sunday before we have Dimanche Gras. We have a similar historial event. The african slaves also mixed with our natives, they were the caribs and arawaks. The offsprings were called "black indians"

      Dont u find it funny that every landmass has the same story? Every indian tribe, no matter where, took in all the Africans and they all mixed together to make this new race called black indians and the indians no longer exist, the africans no longer exist, just these black indians left behind, IN EVERY COUNTRY. No one else thinks that sounds a bit funny and a little too convenient? Im asking this with the knowledge of who is who and where they originated from, so the question is a bit facetious lol. Im just having fun lol yall carry on lol

    The "Black Indians" in my country, the king is called Okenaga, and the queen is called Malreao. They have their own music and language as well. The only difference is that we don't have gangs playing these costumes. Anyone can play. This is part of heritage. The african slaves in Trinidad had the same treatment as well. Our carnival came from the french aristocrat settlers. Some of slaves imitated them, and also other settlers, and that's how our carnival began. We have many tradition carnival characters.

      ​@@79rsgang I got a burning question that I hope aint disrespectful to ask. But do Lousiana folks claim indigenous heritage? Like Chata, Washita, Bayougola, Tunica etc. Is it just yall masking as Indians or do yall know yall ARE the Indians...cuz i know for a long time all over the south we was being killed for claiming that Identity or herded into a reservation. Did yall lose it like us or whats the real story?
