In The seventies I Lived in Treme and was active in forming an afterhours club across from Louie Armstrong Center called "Club Treme". Lou and Charles crowd, and the roots of The New orleans Jazz Festival.
@ThomasJohnTaylor baby i meant no offense..... but please believe ain't a damn thing you did in the fucking 70's was grass roots of new orleans....... jazz, festival, or otherwise...... agian no harm.... just saying....... this shit dates back before,,, before.
The difference between this sort of series and the majority of other series is that nothing is black and white; no characters are reduced to simple stereotypes. The bus driver didn't mean to cause disrespect, and therefore apologised truthfully when he realised the error. It's little touches like that which in my opinion draw the line between mature and immature entertainment.
i am a katrina survivor that spent 6 days on the streets of new orleans and witnessed through my eyes what the media didnt or couldnt report. may we never forget what was done to us. god bless new orleans.
this music is very similar to angolan music Semba. The brazilian Samba is also from semba, there's a region where they play the most raw(from the slaves) samba and it sounds a lot like this
The beautiful and inspiring thing about this scene -- and about "Treme's" depiction of the Indians in general -- is that it shows that the Indian tradition is time-honored, deep and personal to the people who created it and live it. It is NOT entertainment for the masses.
We outsiders should feel privileged and reverent. And, like the bus driver who realizes he has intruded, we should remember that the New Orleans Mardi Gras Indians are a proud people whose culture should be respected.
This is maybe my favorite part of Treme: the respect paid to this living history, 'disguised' as tradition. I never knew about this relationship & this past/part of New Orleans, African Americans and Native Americans.
As an aging white dude, I'm thrilled to finally learn about this part of the fabric of the Country from my favorite city on the planet. Late as I may be to the truth of it, I'm warmed by the fact that the story is being told so well.
Every time I see this scene it reminds me of when I saw some people I'm guessing were Quakers (they were dressed like Amish people) on the corner of Claiborne and Forstall in the 9th ward after Katrina. That was some surreal shit. Almost as bizzare as watching the Saints win the Super Bowl.
God Bless & Love to all of the people of New Orleans, I (and the people of the the United Kingdom)......... give you our Love and RESPECT in your time of extreme loss and hardship. Words are only slight comfort:
"Against every strain of grass that is lost to the storm, there remains a seed embedded in the soil, that will grow, and replenish the grass that has been lost, and a field will grow, yet again" - quote : unknown
pretty sure he inherited the title from his father before the storm, and on further obsessive watching Chief Monk calls him Big Chief Daryl. but thanks for the tip about BTH
I don't think Darryl is the Big Chief but he is to the right of the bass drum w/ white shirt, glasses long hair. Look for Bury the Hatchet trailer on IMDB for a good histoy of the Mardi Gras Indians. Big Chief Monk says "drive away sir" and Darryl " JUST DRIVE AWAY!!!
@zootube323 the tours are completely normal. They are still going strong today but its not nearly as insulting and you dont feel as much like a zoo animal. Still hurts but at least people are coming to the city to see for themselves that we are rebuilding and thriving again
@Dmaclv Blacks and Indians always had a strong relationship and bond !!!!!!! Alot of AFRICAN AMERICANS have NATIVE AMERICAN BLOOD IN THEM!!! WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT!!!!
@Dmaclv Yeah. A lot of people don't know. But it makes sense since both groups were oppressed by whites during the early history of this country. Oppressed groups find solace and learn to relate to one another. Another good example would be the union of blacks and latinos in certain urban areas of the usa.
@fhbklyn You mean the constant gang wars blacks and latinos have? Especially in poor urban areas - which I think you were referring to, unless the rich ones are "oppressed" as well?
@Dmaclv Yes indeed such a relationship existed. If you truly wish to learn of the relationship a good book to start your research and learning is "Black Indians" by William Loren Katz. It is an excellent book and I hope you will continue increasing your knowledge on the topic after reading it.
@Dmaclv Its not a "relationship" between blacks and Native Americans. Blacks are Native Americans. Research Washitaw People. They are black indians, indigenous people of Louisiana.

Amish =/= Quakers. Quakers usually wear modern clothing.
But yeah, that does sound like an awesome thing to witness.

@toReasonWhy I didn't figure they were Amish because they were in a van. Thanks for clearing that up.

Oh, in a van... if they were dressed like Amish but in a van, they were probably Mennonites, who are like the Amish but less orthodox.
