The backstreet museum is a small house where you can see mardi gras costumes and funeral jazz information and their history and why they are like that.
The mardi gras indians are part of the parades and the
Traditions of the mardi gras, they are African American people who dress costumes that are influence by the Native
Americans.
These costumes are handmade and their made of feathers,
stones and cardboard and they take almost 1 year to make
them and they are really expensive. They are different
costumes for each person in the tribe they have the chief
costume the wife of the chief the flag boy who avoids who carry the flag of the tribe so the others tribes can see them.
Other thing that catch my attention was the north side bone gang, they are a group of people that
dress skeleton costumes during mardi gras and they go knocking door to door waking you up and
the chief is Bruce Sunpie Barnes.
Great post, Fernando! I really enjoyed learning more about the Skull and Bones Gang, too. You should also check out the Skeleton Krewe, another Mardi Gras group that goes out on Mardi Gras morning! http://skeletonkrewe.com/
