I have a project due Oct. 13 and I am planning my project. Do you know any good but easy desserts I can make? Since I have the class Period 6, I ca not make anything frozen. Thank you!
I do not know what tribe I want to do. But does anyone know what tribe used quivers?
Since I do not know how to pick the best answer, I just want to thank all of you for helping me. Thanx!
What are some good Native American Desserts?

Navajo Fry Bread Recipe
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 6 cups vegetable oil
3/4 cup warm water
1 cup powdered sugar, as optional topping
1 cup honey, as optional topping
In the bowl of a food processor, mix the dry ingredients. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the oil and the water, and process until smooth. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until the dough is just elastic and comes together, being careful not to over work. Shape the dough into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and roll into a 7-inch circle, making as thin as possible. Poke a hole in the center with the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger.
In a large saute pan or deep fryer, heat the 6 cups of oil to 360 degrees F. Slip the rounds 1 at a time into the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes, turning once with a long-handled spoon. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining dough.
Sprinkle the fried bread with powdered sugar and drizzle with honey, as desired, and serve.
Pumpkin and Corn Dessert
1 small pumpkin
2 ears corn, cut from cob
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Sugar or honey
Peel, seed and slice pumpkin. Cover with water and simmer until tender.
Place corn kernels in pie tin in 350-degree oven; bake for 15 minutes.
Add corn to pumpkin. Add flour, stirring constantly over low heat until mixture thickens. Add sugar or honey to taste. Serve hot.
Good luck with your project.
how about fry bread, but instead of making it with beans and meat and stuff like that, top it with cinnamon and sugar.
What nation? Any particular tribe you interested?
Wampanoag? They ate fresh or dried fruit and berries. Try something with cranberries. Try dried cranberries and nuts. Like a trail mixed into granola. Or just the cranberries and nuts.
WILD GRAPE DUMPLINGS (Seminole) Contributed by Mornin_
Use Possum grapes when ripe in the fall. They grow in the woods and along creek banks. Cook ½ gallon wild possum grapes til they are boiling, using just enough water to cover. Strain through a clean sack. Make dumplings out of 12 cup grape juice, 2 cups flour, 2 tsps. baking powder and 1 tsp shortening. Stir grape juice into dry ingredients to make a stiff dough. Add a tbsp or two of grape juice if needed. Sweeten the boiling grape juiceleft and boil in juice.
NOTE: In Texas, we generally call the wild grapes "Mustang Grapes". They usually ripen in early summer and are very plentiful. I always gather plenty for grape juice to drink and to use in jelly making. This dessert is credited to the Seminoles, but the Chickasaws Choctaw, Comanches, and Cherokees in Texas and Oklahoma make equal use of this recipe and the wild grapes that grow so abundantly.
