Fry Bread.

I ordered fry bread with cinnamon sugar and also a no meat, no dairy Navajo taco.
Both were so very tasty to me.

I learned that fry bread has been around for a long time but it is NOT an original, Native food that is centuries old. I understand that Natives started to make fry bread when they were given the ingredients by the US government about 175 years ago. A whole group of Natives were being forced to move and were given sugar, flour, and lard (this is fat from animals’ bodies).

So, the taste is good but the story is also very sad.
