I guess you'd had to have grown-up in New Orleans to know this but Mardi Gras Indians are an integral part of New Orleans colorful history going back over a hundred years. There are almost 40 "tribes" around the city and their names, costumes and history are known by locals, true Mardi Gras scholars and enthusiasts.
Yes, it would help if you grew-up in the city, but really all it takes is a google search and a little respect for traditions and cultures you may not be aware of.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but the Mardi Gras Indians aren't actually.. Indians.. Right? How about having respect for traditions and cultures most people are aware of..

I am a descendant of a very blended family from Southern Louisiana - New Orleans. My paternal grandmother was born to African and Native American parents and her husband to an African mother by a German father. Many of the traditions, people, celebrations and food in New Orleans are living tribute to the blending and respect of those varied cultures.
You made a pretty good point, but believe me there was much respect given.

I saw the video and it's like the brazilian carnaval, and it's a cultural wealth of people who has an rich history.
And that's a part of the human race history, ful of color and celebration. I've learn much seeing this video. Thanks, Alexia!
