FrybreadBread of the People1Between 1864 and 1866, the United States government sent the Navajo people to be imprisoned at Fort Sumner in New Mexico. They had to walk more than 300 miles to get there from their home in Arizona. Hundreds of people died. After this “Long Walk,” the Navajo people didn’t have access to the food they were used to, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and venison. They were starving, but all the government provided was flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and lard. Using their ingenuity, the Navajo people created frybread. They endured and were able to return to their homeland in 1868.2The struggle of the Navajo people is just one of many similar stories from a time when the government relocated American Indian peoples to different places. Frybread became a source of survival during this dark period. Perhaps because of this, it is now considered a traditional American Indian food.3Frybread is made from a dough of flour, water, and baking powder. The dough is flattened like a pancake and then deep-fried in lard or oil. The soft, thick dough puffs up and turns golden brown. Frybread can be found at powwows, where vendors sell it at their food stands, and people line up to buy it. And frybread competitions are held at get-togethers, such as fairs, where people from many different American Indian nations gather together.4Frybread can be a sweet dessert, topped with butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, fruit, or honey. It can also be served like a taco, with meat, lettuce, salsa, and cheese. Beans, onions and chili may be added. Frybread may even be used as a bun for burgers. Most American Indians who prepare frybread have their own recipes, which might be handed down through generations.5Frybread is certainly a delicious treat. But it is more than that for American Indians. It is a reminder of their past struggles to survive during extremely difficult times. It is a proud symbol of the obstacles that they overcame. Today, frybread helps to unite the different American Indian peoples. Its significance can be summarized in the words of American Indian writer and filmmaker Sherman Alexie, who said, “Frybread is the story of our survival.”
