All the rez's got about the same "commodities" foods.  Generally barrels of 
flour that couldn't be sold elsewhere, rancid beef, and so forth and so on.

Every group has their own personal spin on how to make fry bread.  You get 
down closer to Mexico and lots of folks use those little bitty rolling pins. 
What they put on the fry bread at home and what you get on the Red Road 
(PowWow Trail) and in restaurants aren't necessarily one and the same thing.

I remember as a kid loving to travel up to the rez in the summer because the 
aunties would make them sweet and then bury them under smashed fresh 
berries.  You could always tell the happy kids, they had purple smiles <g>
