Terrance Williams Jr. is a 17 year old Big Chief of the Black Hawk Hunters. His suit is hand sewn and beaded by him. His mother picked the colors and all 3 of her sons (all Mardi Gras Indians) dedicated their suits to their mom. "Mardi Gras Indians is a New Orleans tradition that is an African culture expressed in the city by African American women, men and children. It's a tradition that allows us to express our own afro centric being." Big Chief Tyrone Caspy of Mohawk Hunters and board member of the Mardi Gras Indian Council On a typical Fat Tuesday morning the Mardi Gras Indians will dance and sing in the streets in their handmade suits. Traditionally a new suit is made every year out of beads and feathers. There are no words that can describe the feeling of seeing the Mardi Gras Indians on the streets. Their tradition and culture are what keeps the spirit of New Orleans alive.」2月17日 1時18分
