The circle, a shape so prominent in Native American crafts, represents everything from the earth, moon, sun, and planets, to the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. These handmade items are offered with great respect to those responsible for the creation of these traditions, and to those who carry on the tradition by displaying and appreciating the Legend of the Dream Catcher, Medicine Wheel and Mandella.  In keeping with tradition, these crafts are individually hand crafted and unique.

FRY BREAD POWER! ga-do di-gv-tsa-la-nv-hi a-yv-wi-ya
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Add warm water in small amounts and knead dough until soft but not sticky. Adjust flour or water as needed. Cover bowl and let stand about 15 minutes. Pull off large egg-sized balls of dough and roll out into fairly thin rounds. Fry rounds in hot oil until bubbles appear on the dough, turn over and fry on the other side until golden. Serve hot. Try brushing on honey, or making into an Indian Taco.
