“We are doing everything we can to give a helping hand to the Mardi Gras Indians, including providing feathers for the costumes. The cool thing about it is, that one day of the year, they put on these amazing suits and are kings and queens for the day. That's what makes it so special.”
Bill Taylor
“Sometimes the best helping hand you can give is a good, firm push.”

“If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.”
Chief Joseph
“My crown is in my heart, not in my head, Nor decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen; my crown is called contentment; A crown it is, that seldom kings enjoy”
William Shakespeare
“In all our messages, including our briefs to the Indian delegates, we sent a clear message that this is not India versus China.”
