Allison Montana

Allison Montana

Chief Allison ‘Tootie’ Montana (December 16, 1922 – June 27, 2005) was a New Orleans cultural icon who acted as the Mardi Gras Indian "chief of chiefs" for decades.[1] He began making his own Mardi Gras Indian costumes at the age of ten.

Montana had just finished speaking of his fifty-two year involvement with the Indians at a New Orleans City Council special session held to review complaints of police misconduct during Mardi Gras when he was struck by a fatal heart attack. He died surrounded by supporters and other Indian chiefs.
