White Eagles Mardi Gras Indian Tribe


The White Eagles are a historic Uptown gang with which Monk Boudreaux first masked as a teenager before an internal dispute dissolved the tribe and he joined the Golden Eagles. Alan Lomax filmed the White Eagles in 1982 for his American Patchwork series, capturing traditional songs such as "My Big Chief's Got the Golden Crown," "Shallow Water" and "Little Liza Jane." A Second Chief of the White Eagles, Felton Brown of the Desire project, taught flat beadwork to Seminoles Big Chief Keitoe Jones. Side: Uptown

The Council


The Tribe, In Full

Every name here carries the tribe — the council that leads the gang out, and the members who sew and mask. Council first, then the gang.

Council · The Tribe Comes Out Behind Them

Second Chief

Felton Brown

Second Chief of the White Eagles; mentor in flat beadwork to Big Chief Keitoe Jones.

Masking Days · When This Tribe Comes Out

On the council: masking is a year-round commitment — the sewing table every night, practices every Sunday, and one morning when it all comes out. Councils are published with the tribe’s blessing and updated each Carnival.
