Don't you think that there is too many pictures here and that make the load of the page longer to show ? -- Chmouel Boudjnah 23:53, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Add tribe name Choctaw Hunters to the list Please. Est. 1990 9thWardMike ( talk) 17:44, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Over the years, a number of recordings of various Mardi Gras Indian tribes (recorded both in the streets of New Orleans as well as studio recordings) have been made widely available. while i am familiar enough with some of the releases to begin a list of recordings, i think that a more musicological slash ethnomusicological approach to the subject (or at least as an introduction to a list of recordings) should be part of this article, as music is as much a part of the Mardi Gras Indian tribes as are their costumes.
Here is a brief list of recordings with which i would begin -- as far as i am aware, with the exception of the first Wild Magnolias recording, Handa Wanda, which is important to list because it is the first commercially recorded documentation of a Mardi Gras Indian tribe -- all of the following are still in print:
While i am not aware of any commercially released recordings by any of the other 38-odd tribes, including: The Black Eagles, The Golden Star Hunters, Creole Wild West, and The Creole Osceolas, to name but a few, i am sure that there are compilations and "field-recordings" of the Folkways type, as well as locally-produced and distrubuted recordings not widely available outside of New orleans (except, one hopes, over the web).
Isn't there also a need for entries on such major figures as Bo Dollis (leader of the Wild Magnolias) and Monk Boudreaux (leader of the Golden Eagles)?

That article needs attention, I left some hopefully useful information on the talk page. Regards, BNutzer 12:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
While i am not sure if this is a definitive list of the currently active Mardi Gras Indian tribes, it is a pretty definitive listing from a pretty definitive and reputable site, Mardi Gras Digest. Alternately, one could always add an external link to the Tribes of the Mardi Gras Indian Nation page slash sub-site at Mardi Gras Digest, and for now (Mardi Gras, 2006), that is what i think i will do. For the record, here is the list of tribes i have been able to compile so far:

I just now edited the {{Template:Mardi Gras in New Orleans}}, where Group 6 had been written as Indian Tribes, so it now reads Mardi Gras Indians with an internal link to that page. I didn't check if this is the proper nomenclature, just relied on the editors of this page to have settled the matter at the time the page name was established. -- Deborahjay ( talk) 14:59, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
This fits the very definition of cultural appropriation. It's no surprise that someone actively engaged in the ongoing colonization would remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.86.50.153 ( talk) 20:48, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
I have recently attempted to correct this mistake and I was told it had no significance to the information. -BLACK MASKING INDIANS or MASKING INDIANS- As I am Currently working with the Black Indians in New Orleans it should be known that they do not wish to be referred to as "Mardi Gras Indians". These indigenous people celebrate carnival which was appropriated by other groups calling it "Mardi Gras". If we are working to get the correct information to those that are seeking it, I implore you to please correct this showing of appropriation on indigenous people in this country. I find it interesting that much of the information that is in the article actually proves the point that they and I are making. Thank you -- The1tibbs ( talk) 23:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
I do not understand how this is ok. They became buffalo Soldiers to kill my Ansestors of this land. Then proceed to mock the culture of the local Indigenous peoples. Even going as far as taking the names of Indigenous Tribes and putting "hunter" after the name. I would like to know more on this topic. And see what other Indigenous relatives think of this. 209.16.135.50 ( talk) 01:21, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
