To pay respect to the Native Indians who helped them escape the tyranny of slavery, the Mardi Gras Indians named themselves after Native Indian Tribes. Historically meeting on Mardi Gras day to "settle scores" today's tribes simply meet in the streets to participate in friendly but very competitive, cultural and artistic "dress off".
