Mardi Gras Indians (or Black Masking Indians) are a historic New Orleans subculture, originating in the late 1800s, who mask as Native Americans to honor Indigenous tribes that sheltered runaway enslaved people. The tradition honors African, Caribbean, and Native American roots with elaborate, handmade suits of beads and feathers worn for street processions. This piece is part of my series "The Gospel According to New Orleans and I painted it to honor Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, a living legend.
