I wish I would of seen more of Dr. Maurice Martinez. He wrote the book “No, I won’t bow down on that dirty ground”. Great book. I highly recommend it if you want to learn more about the history of the Mardi Gras Indians.

Actually it is not. This tradition began to honor the indigenous Americans who saved our ancestors that were runaway slaves. It dates back to the 1800s and many of the people who participate are Afro-indigenous themselves, including myself and my family. Please do your research. We have also been celebrated and thanked by Indigenous groups across the US for honoring their ancestors and showing the world our strength and survival despite colonialism.
