| Flagboy |
Prior to emancipation, it was not uncommon for escaped African-American slaves in Louisiana to find refuge with indigenous Native Americans. The Mardi Gras Indian tradition remembers this legacy.

| Child's Mardi Gras Indian Costume |
There are approximately 40 Mardi Grad Indian "tribes" in New Orleans. Members of "tribes" spend a lot of money & time through the year to create ornate costumes, often with intricate beadwork. Each tribe is headed by a "Big Chief," who sets the marching route & controls his marchers.
Tribes have a "spyboy" who scouts several blocks ahead of the proposed route. If the spyboy sees a rival tribe nearby, he lets the rest of the tribe know fast! Tribes also have a "flagboy" who carries the tribal flag.
When two marching tribes meet, there is a ritual meeting of the chiefs, typically including a lot of insults directed at the costumes of the rivals. In years past, violence sometimes ensued, but agreements between the "Uptown" & "Downtown" groups of tribes have mostly eliminated this from Mardi Gras today.
This colorful African-American carnival tradition is remembered in songs like "Iko Iko" & "Big Chief." The legendary Neville Brothers band originated within the Wild Tchopitoulas tribe.
Don't let your flag catch on fire!
2-packs (L$420) & bulk packs (L$2100) of each variety are available separately at the dock!
