TambourIndian

New Orleans' Mardi Gras Indians are famous for their heritage and for the intricately beaded, colorful costumes that generations of families continue to sew year in and year out in this unique city. Here a member dances during a parade at this year's Jazz and Heritage Festival featuring the Cheyenne and 7th Ward Creole Hunters tribe(s). The colorless image of this particular subject brings out an even greater intricacy in their craft.
