Mardi Gras Indian practice

Another video of Mardi Gras Indian practice at Handa Wanda in New Orleans. Members of Wild Magnolias and Black Eagles, maybe others as well. This tradition is unique to New Orleans and it was an honor to be able to watch them practice their moves and pass the tradition down to new generations. They practice every Sunday night around 7:30. This is a pretty low-fi video shot with a little digital camera, apologies for quality.
