A couple of weeks ago, I volunteered to help cook during one of Diné Club's Frybread Friday's. I have made frybread for a while now - for fundraisers, ceremonies, special events, and just because. To me, making frybread feels peaceful and has many memories of home. Although it is not technically a traditional food, it has integrated its way into many of our native cultures. Frybread can be a symbol of oppression and a direct link to a painful history, but it can also be seen as a demonstration of resiliency. Either way, frybread has become so deep-rooted in our cultures that to eradicate it would cause a major uproar. Frybread power.
