VISITS

WELCOME

Thank you for visiting the Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame blog.

Co-founded in 1998 by Dr. Roslyn J. Smith and Cherice Harrison-Nelson through the spirit of Big Chief Donald Harrison, Senior, the Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame works year-round to create community among, honor, and educate about the individuals and groups who create and uphold the arts and culture of the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans. Annually in August, we dedicate a week to celebration of our achievements and the unity of the Nation. Our work is supported by grants and private donations.
