How, exactly, does one enforce copyright of a costume? Do you carry paperwork in your head dress? Does every photographer you meet have to submit a form? Most photographers out on Mardi Gras day are amateurs anyway. How are they distinguished? Perhaps the tribes should create a new position in order to handle these responsibilities.

Also, Mardi Gras Indians are far from the only people wearing elaborate, home made artwork outside during Carnival. Should everyone apply for copyright?
