Fry Bread true history!
By Wha-O-Chee
Original fried bread was actually not something natives ate for centuries?
Fried bread originated at the time the US Government started reservations and supplied the Indians with very few staples. The Indians not knowing how to bake bread loafs mixed the flour with water and fried them in the animal oils of the bear, buffalo and the deer in the shiny black pans they were given or traded for.
Fry bread became a staple for the natives when the government moved them from location to location and especially on the Trail of Tears when they needed to make a food they could carry while being forced marched by Kit Carson who enjoyed using the walking natives as target practice which brought forth the Cherokee Tear Dress from the scraps of clothes of those killed in the march.
Original fried bread recipe:
Flour and water made into a heavy paste.
Fried in animal fat until browned!
That is what we know as the REAL FRIED BREAD.
Today, many enjoy this deep fried food at home and at Pow Wows and over time for sale reasons only: The Indian Taco was created to boost sales.
