The caveat I would offer is that frybread with wheat flour to the best of
my knowledge (as my own ancestry does not include Plains or Southwestern
tribes) is a post-contact, post-Buffalo foodstuff. Whether Southwestern
corn-culture tribes had any such practice with cooking corn flour goods I
simply do not know.
