Is there any more to this video and if so where can I find it?

Thanks

Thank you for asking. "The Indians of Mardi Gras" is presented in its entirety here, at just under 5 minutes.

It's a fascinating subject, and I hope that someone will address it in detail at greater length.

Peace... Dino Palazzi

Brilliant! Some close friends had a class with Dr. Ehrenreich back when he was a newly minted PhD. Such a good teacher that snippets of his lectures entered the lore of friends of friends who didn't even know of him.
