Bruce Sunpie Barnes, Big Chief of the North Side Skull and Bone Gang, reflects on the demographic changes in the skeleton gang’s neighborhood, Tremé, and the importance of the Backstreet Cultural Museum to the gang’s history. Live footage of the North Side Skull and Bone Gang coming out on Mardi Gras Day 2022 closes out this film about loss and perseverance. Barnes created the skeleton suit displayed in The Historic New Orleans Collection’s 2022 exhibition “Making Mardi Gras.”
