Indian tacos are rich in fat, history
http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/national/plains/48619062.html
Frybread was born of necessity. Indian tacos were born of something else entirely – a love for chili, beans and lots of cheese.
What started in the late 1800s as sustenance concocted from government rations of lard, flour, salt and baking powder later became a staple in American Indian homes and at pow wows. Today, an Oklahoma festival, fair or pow wow just wouldn’t be the same without a booth selling frybread topped with layers of chili, beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Some say frybread was invented by the Navajo tribe, but it’s now hard to find a tribe that doesn’t lay claim to frybread or its culinary offshoot, the Indian taco.

People ask us ‘When did the Indians all die?’ They don’t realize they’re still around. The importance of Keeping the Tradition is that it lets people know Native Americans are still here, that they have a lively culture and that they have many traditions still going strong.
Andy Sawyer, site manager of the Sun Watch Indian Village in Dayton Ohio, explaining why they have a yearly powwow at the archeological park.

Crow Testament
1
Damn, says Crow, I guess
Cain lifts Crow, that heavy black bird
and strikes down Abel.
this is just the beginning.2
The white man, disguised
as a falcon, swoops in
and yet again steals a salmon
from Crow’s talons.Damn, says Crow, if I could swim
I would have fled this country years ago.3
The Crow God as depicted
in all of the reliable Crow bibles
looks exactly like a Crow.Damn, says Crow, this makes it
so much easier to worship myself.4
Among the ashes of Jericho,
Crow sacrifices his firstborn son.Damn, says Crow, a million nests
are soaked with blood.5
When Crows fight Crows
the sky fills with beaks and talons.Damn, says Crow, it’s raining feathers.6
Crow flies around the reservation
and collects empty beer bottlesbut they are so heavy
he can only carry one at a time.So, one by one, he returns them
but gets only five cents a bottle.Damn, says Crow, redemption
is not easy.7
Crow rides a pale horse
into a crowded powwow
but none of the Indian panic.Damn, says Crow, I guess
they already live near the end of the world.- Sherman Alexie
