The intersection of art and culture is rich in New Orleans. The Mardi Gras Indians have been masking since the 1800's. In this interview, Noonieman breaks down what it takes to make a suit and all the obstacles Indians encounter along the way. Economic and Criminal "in"justice issues feature prominently. Many Indians live in under-served and under-resourced communities yet they are resilient. The emotional and spiritual connections to the tradition and to New Orleans neighborhoods run deep.
