Iko, Iko is a Mardi Gras song in which Indian tribes, dressed in extraordinary costumes, chant this song during a mock battle between the tribes. It has been translated in many ways and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I included the lyrics.

Happy Mardi Gras!

the big question is if you do bet someone 5 bucks that someone else that they will kill that person dead, and they do, can you still collect the 5 dollars?

This is a significant part of our culture, a remnant of a once-mighty, a once-proud, a once-royal people that have now, unfortunately devolved into economic and cultural dependence. Let us celebrate by looking forward with our past as a reminder of what we can be-colourful people-with our own standards, our own aesthetics, our own goals, our own identities. krxn11
