Fry bread is meals.
It’s heat and scrumptious, piled excessive on a plate.

Fry bread is time.
It brings households collectively for meals and new recollections.

Fry bread is nation.
It’s shared by many, from coast to coast and past.

Fry bread is us.
It’s a celebration of outdated and new, conventional and fashionable, similarity and distinction.
