Student Podcast: Fry Bread

Fry bread is a popular food in many Native communities — but has a dark history. One student talks to her grandmother about its complicated place in Native culture.

This is an excerpt from "Making Frybread - A History" by Kimimila Beetso, a student at Horizon Honors Secondary School in Phoenix, Ariz.. Her story was a finalist in the 2025 NPR Student Podcast Challenge.
