This book is written as a cultural archive. To capture a part of history that is not known on a broader scale. History is made by common people doing the right thing; it is our everyday lives, our struggles, and what we do with them. Our stories let us remember the past, so that we can make change in the future. If you know where you come from, you know where you can go. Icons (that we can identify with) in history are chosen to give us strength and hope. The Mardi Gras Indians are one of these icons.
