8. Native American fact of the day – Frybead used to be called “Buggy Bread” due to the bugs in the flour or “Dirty” lard bread due to the lard being dirty or used from the settlers and given to the Natives to cook with. Often Natives were given flour with bugs, used or spoiled lard and spoiled meat while being placed on reservations or learning near Forts.
