First celebrate the front and center place of fry bread in First People families and then Native American culture.
The cover wrap is a nice surprise and the end papers are a litany of the names of First People Tribes. It even includes a recipe for fry bread at the end. The detailed back matter goes through each page spread, giving excellent background information to add to the depth of the material. I can see why this won the 2020 Seibert Award.
