MARDI GRAS INDIANS

New Orleans

Chief David Montana is of the Washitaw Nation. Each year, around St. Joseph’s Day, the Mardi Gras Indian Council holds its Super Sunday celebration and parade. This is a day when all of the Mardi Gras Indians gather, dressed in their feathers and ornate suits, and meet with other Mardi Gras Indian tribes. The Mardi Gras Indian Council was formed in 1987 to help preserve and enrich the Indian culture.
