[Podcast] Mardi Gras Indians Seek To Copyright Costumes; NPR's All Things Considered, 2/8/11

[Podcast] NPR's All Things Considered; Mardi Gras Indians Seek To Copyright Costumes:

"With one month until Mardi Gras, Mardi Gras Indians in New Orleans are in the final stages of sewing their outrageously elaborate costumes.

For more, host Melissa Block speaks to Ashlye Keaton, an adjunct professor at Tulane Law School; and Chief Howard Miller of the Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians."
