New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Council Won't Bow Down
The Indians are the fire
We are black and free. We are proud and unbent. We are this great city that we call home and the Nation that lifts our culture for all to see.
The Council is a tribe of tribes
We are a nonprofit organization made up of tribes from across New Orleans. We exist to promote, preserve, and create opportunity for the Mardi Gras Indian community.
