A Mocko Jumbie (also known as "Moko Jumbi", "Moko Jumbie", or "Mocko Jumbi") is a traditional stilt walker or spirit dancer, ingrained in the cultural heritage of the U.S. Virgin Islands for over 200 years. Originating from West African traditions, these cultural practices were introduced to the Caribbean island by enslaved individuals during the 19th century, forming an intricate tapestry of their heritage and history.
