This is literally the equivalent of white people attending Mardi Gras in blackface. But it’s blacks culturally appropriating Indians, so its ok. They make the rules in New Orleans now. If white people did this, it would’ve already been labeled taboo and banned years ago.
There are origins of masking to celebrate Native Americans for leading blacks to freedom.

When slaves escaped and were accepted by the tribes surrounding New Orleans, they gained an appreciation and understanding of the cultures. In many cases, the African Americans and Native Americans married, leading to many Mardi Gras Indians who truly have Native heritage. Additionally, many of the aspects of the Mardi Gras Indian suits and parades are unique to African culture- the beadwork, the drum beats, the use of the aprons. The aspects which are borrowed from Native cultures are added as a homage to the Natives who saved African Americans in a time of need; a homage to the people who protected their ancestors

No shite Sherlock I'm talking about buying them from the Krewe/Guy who made it.
Good luck! I'm sure selling one they spent all year making to internet tigerdroppings.com user name sidewalkside is most important to them.
Bless your heart.

I've always assumed a lot of those dudes were getting big NEA grants, or something like that, for making that shite.
I'm not even saying that to be mad about it, if so. It's all more impressive than something like a crucifix in piss or a banana on a poster board.

And calling them Mardi Gras Indian Krewes.
Go to a Wild Magnolias show, talk to a Big Chief from a tribe or when you get the price for it finally make your own.
Like I said. Good luck!

It’s apparently a years worth of work. It looks like $10k might not be that far off.

Darryl Montana, son of the Big Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas "Hunters" tribe, states that the suits each year cost around $5,000 in materials that can include up to 300 yards of down feather trimming.[10] The suits can take up to a year to complete as each artist needs to order materials, design the layout, sew and bead.
