Phil G here, this week on the SongCircle, I will be joined by Chuk Barber, the Big Chief of the Northwest Bone Gang. We'll talk about the story of the Black Masking Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans, how they came to be, what's happening now, and the identity of who indigenous Americans are!. There will be some great Mardi Gras related music, as well.
