I went to the funeral of a Big Chief today (pics)
Edited on Sat Jul-09-05 08:33 PM by funkybutt
New Orleans Louisiana,
RIP Big Chief "Tootie" (Allison "Tootie" Montana)


"Allison "Tootie" Montana, former longtime big chief of the Yellow Pocahontas gang of Mardi Gras Indians and the best-known exemplar of a uniquely New Orleans tradition, died Monday night at Charity Hospital after suffering an apparent heart attack while speaking at a New Orleans City Council hearing on police treatment of the Indians."

1. Sounds like he was a great man
As with so many, you only learn of someone's life after their death.

Great pictures.

3. Do you know Christopher Porche West? I'm sure he was there
I used to date him - http://porche-west.com/

I used to hang out with him and the Indians back in the day. Who took over the tribe? Tootie's son?

7. Link?
Wow! I'm into photography too. I think that is why his name sounded familiar. He's probably published.
