@diagrams22 I live in cornwall england where there's a few traditions , most of them make know sense what so ever , like carrying a burning barrell full of tar for instance . I have been to the Notting Hill Carnival they had some really great costumes there's as well , I hope i get to go next time. I'm not sure but was the notting hill Carnival inspired by Mardi Gras , i' ll have to look it up . I hope to visit your wonderful city one day i love live music and good food .God bless New Orleans !

The film BURY THE HATCHET is the portrait of three Mardi Gras Indian "Big Chiefs" of New Orleans, descendants of runaway slaves whose ancestors were given harbor by the Native Americans of the Louisiana bayous.
