Ho-Chunk Women and Girl Making Fry Bread
Image
Alice Cloud and Mrs. Mallory making frybread at a cranberry camp at Trow’s Marsh. The marsh extends from south of Merrillan to north of Millston. Frybread (waiskap taaxerre) became popular after the government began providing basic commodities to the tribes. One of the simplest foods to make with the flour was frybread, which has since become an iconic Indian dish.
