I'm gonna set your flag on fire

The American Festivals Project took off to New Orleans to document Indian Sunday, a major gathering of the Mardi Gras Indian tribes. Each suit is a labor intensive work of art hand sewn by the wearer. By tradition, a new suit is required each year, and St. Joseph's night marks the last parade before the current years suits are dismantled.
