It was often local Indians who accepted slaves into their society when they made a break for freedom. They have never forgotten this support. Today when two Mardi Gras Indian tribes pass one another, you will see a living theater of art and culture. Each tribe's style and dress is on display in a friendly but competitive manner. They compare one another's art and craftsmanship.   Custom Engraving A
