The key to good fry bread is water temperature to make the dough, rise time, and hot enough grease. I don’t personally make it but am a frybread snob at heart.
Foods are going to be regional, recipes change by family, and influenced by colonization (government rations in the US- look up the history of fry bread and ag). If you look at your local, indigenous plants and wildlife, you’ll find what is/was served.
One of my favorites is like chicken and dumplings but made with game instead and normally corn added. 🤤 Its the ultimate in comfort food.
ETA: great video above! Worth the watch.

Thanks for the link! I read the one by Mihesuah, and it's one of my favorites.

OMG! What I wouldn't give for NDN Tacos right now!!! Unfortunately, I'm eating Keto so that is definitely a no-no! But when I get down to goal...watch out!!
Indian hash is a favorite in my family. It's basically just meat (Hamburg or other ground meat/sausage), onions, potatoes and either sage or savory. It's like mashed potatoes with the meat and other stuff. Can also be made into a pie. Oh, so good!
Corn soup/corn bread...I miss all these foods from my hometown! Thanksgiving is going to be non-keto day and I'll deal with the aftermath later. But need my homefoods!!

I have done a whole month of Indigenous foods before, and lost a bit of weight! This month I'm just doing the 10 days leading up to Thanksgiving. I think it's a fun thing to do, especially with kids, to celebrate American Indian heritage and Thanksgiving!
