    Mardi Gras Indians singing and mourning the life of the late Big Chief Lionel Delpit of the Black Feathers Indian tribe. The Mardi Gras Indians named themselves after native Indians to pay them respect for their assistance in escaping the tyranny of slavery. It was often local Indians who accepted slaves into their society when they made a break for freedom around early to mid 1800s. They have never forgotten this support.The chants that you hear are usually stories of the struggles in the neighborhood, violence, poverty, celebration of life or death etc,,. These chants and calls are passed down from generation to generation.

      Poor, delusional, stoned AA's. Engaging in some odd form of LARPing fantasy, trying to steal another culture. Ever so desperately trying to be something, ANYTHING, other than what they are. It's sad. Pathetic, actually.

    Black Masking Indians engage in battle in two ways - with words and the costume pageantry. Because this is a funeral for a chief, black indians from many tribes all over town come to pay respect. They naturally will engage in the ritual of musical chanting, even though they're not in their suits (it's cultural).
    What is not typical is to engage in battle at a funeral. A part of what you are witnessing is battle brewing. Again, verbal and pageantry battles happen during masking events, not usually at a funeral, but things got a little heated.

    Is this a common tradition when an indian or a big chief passes? Some of the language is pretty coarse. Is it accepted or appreciated by the others attending the funeral service? (I am just curious. I'm not being critical myself).

    To the youth; these chants are infused with oral tradition. To say we are of native American descent is more than obvious and is still trying to be eradicated. To say one is black red white yellow is utterly ridiculous and is a label of ignorance. Would you label your child as a crayon....
    For we all come from somewhere and we all can be proud of who we are. We are all survivors of colonialism. Know now it's not as shallow as crayons. We all have mixtures of race. Just look at the phenotypes of the olmecs . They traveled as a phoenician typed of people. Obviously using the Jetstream for a highway. The so called race concept is totally a manmade concept. This life is amazing. It's all about class, money, power. Know who you are from your heart. Speak with the elders of your family.
    Chahta nation / choctaw/ seminole.
    Everybody knows the seminoles were extremely diverse. Whatever u do don't fall for the race thing. It's simply a sociological concept.... Lord,the most high in heavenly realms that is often misunderstood, help us now!!!!
    "I make shallow water and give it away"...... And that's how you keep what you have.
