The Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame invites you to the 2011 Memorial, Induction, and Awards Ceremony.
Please plan to join us 4:00 - 5:30 pm Sunday, August 7, 2011 at Ashe Cultural Arts Center, 1712 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The annual Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame program highlights the role of Big Chiefs, all Mardi Gras Indians, and those who assist in supporting the tradition.
Former Haley Elementary School principal Dr. Roslyn J. Smith put it beautifully when she said, "The Big Chiefs are community leaders, and in many ways they are social warriors, struggling to preserve traditions of beauty in the community while working to make the communities better places."
We hope that you are able to join us for this very special Sunday afternoon in New Orleans.
