ON THE COVER

The "Indian" ---image of a warrior tradition among Blacks in The Americas--appears annually in various festivals. "Black Indians" are a fixture among African-American families and other social organizations in the New Orleans Mardi Gras. In the Trinidad carnival, "Indian" masqueraders organize themselves as members of red, black, or white "tribes." This young man is the chief of his tribe. His costume emphasizes elements of power in symmetrical and balanced relationships. (Photo by H. Braithwaite.)
