Black Indians are inhabitants of New Orleans neighborhoods , African-Americans who gather in tribes, make the most beautiful costumes of the world, and parade in the streets like African angels disguised as dreaming indians by affirming to the face of the world the pride, beauty, and humanity of their communities. This documentary pays tribute to the Indian spirits of the land of America as do the Big Chiefs of the tribes we follow throughout the film. Musical and danced, joyful, Black Indians takes us back to the roots of call and response , a musical form that is the last living tradition of African culture and one of the sources of jazz
