Are ‘Swamp People’ From Blackfoot?

Bruce Mitchell, star of the History channel's "Swamp People," hold a 2-year old swamp alligator as second graders from Manhattan's P.S. 150 clamor for a touch, during a ceremony launching the replica scene of a Louisiana swamp at Chelsea Market on Feb. 2 in New York. The recreation called "Swamp in the City," featuring live alligators, turtles and Cajun music, is a partnership of the History Channel and Louisiana Tourism to raise awareness of the "culture, music and excitement of Louisiana."
