New Orleans' Mardi Gras Indians have long been the subject of mythology and mystique. Many historians trace the genesis of the tradition to the days of French and Spanish rule, when slaves would gather at Congo Square in New Orleans’ Tremé neighborhood to play traditional African folk music, dance and sing to celebrate their heritage. Here we look at the little known history of the Mardi Gras Indians, with photos taken on Super Sunday.
