Box 5, Badlands National Park, SD 57750 Tel 605-433-5460.

Kai, Sheraton Wild Horse Resort

5594 Wild Horse Pass Rd. Tel 602-225-0100.

Kai, meaning 'seed' in the Pima language, features a menu rich in creativity, history and Native American culture. Native American Chef Strong incorporates the essence of the Pima and Maricopa tribes and locally farmed ingredients from the Gila River Indian Community to create unforgettable masterpieces. James Beard Award-winning Chef Janos Wilder is consulting chef for Kai and is renowned for creating unique and indigenous menu experiences. Kai (rhymes

with "sky") is set on the Gila River Reservation and relies on tribal and local agriculture to fill out much of its menu. Start off with honeydew melon soup with scallop and halibut ceviche, set off with candied kumquats. Then move on to tribally raised buffalo with raspberry and tomatillo salsa. Finish up with warm fry bread topped with Kahlua ice cream. Open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, reservations are recommended.

He and his son also produce cherry, apple, blueberry and pineapple pies that are made in the form of a round loaf as well as sweet rolls. Bring some cheese to eat with this wonderful bread as you visit Acoma Pueblo. Also take home some great tamales made at his bakery. Open Tuesday through Friday.

Fry Bread House

4140 N. 7th Ave., Phoenix Az 85013, 602-351-2345.

Cecilia Miller made Indian fry bread while growing up on the Tohono O'odham Reservation. She's still doing it the traditional way at her central Phoenix shop: made-from-scratch, hand-stretched and fresh-fried. Top the fry bread with mild green chile beef or zesty red chile beef. There is no more wicked dessert in town than fry bread coated with butter and chocolate.

Agave at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa

6902 East Greenway Parkway Scottsdale, Arizona 85254 Telephone: (480) 624-1000 Toll Free: (888) 625-5144 Fax: (480)624-1001.

Known for its use of indigenous spa ingredients and practices, Agave, The Arizona Spa adds another dimension with its Arizona Spa Cuisine menu. Each of the three new spa menus incorporates natively found ingredients such as quinoa,

sunflower sprouts, and peppers, along with locally grown fruits and vegetables. Pacific Rim, Mediterranean and Native American influences are found in Sautéed Shrimp with Ginger, Garlic and Curry; Quinoa in an Orange Blossom Vinaigrette; and Roasted Beef Tenderloin on Butternut Squash. Executive Chef Anton Brunbauer, with an avid interest in food history and origin, is committed to the versatility and native flair of the ingredients used in all of the resort’s dining options. Brunbauer

designed these menus to be light and healthy in keeping with the spa’s mission. A refreshing accompaniment to these meals is Agave’s signature limeade, made with Agave nectar, an organic liquid sweetener extracted from the core of the Agave plant, also a mainstay in early  Arizona culture.

Native Hands

8806 McDowell Rd., Scottsdale, Az 85254, Tel 480-675-9443

Breakfast and Lunch, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Green chili stew with tortilla or fry bread ($5.95) understandably is a best seller. Pima Taco a folded-over fry bread stuffed with beans and cheese ($4.50) a Pima taco combination ($5.50) adds red or green chili. The house special ($4), with the ground beef jazzed by sizzling jalapenos, tomato and onion and scooped with warm corn tortilla chips. A simple basket of fry bread ($5), finally, fry bread dessert with honey and powdered sugar.

Arizona Kitchen, Wigwam Resort

300 E. Wigwam Blvd, Litchfield Park, Az Tel 623-935-3811

With the help of a historian of Native American foods, the chef here has put together a bold Southwestern menu. Appetizers such as blue corn piki rolls, stuffed with capon and goat cheese, and the wild boar Anasazi bean chile give you an indication of what's to come. Entrées include grilled sirloin of buffalo and venison medallions in a blackberry-zinfandel cocoa sauce. For dessert, try the chile-spiked ice cream in the striking turquoise "bowl" of hardened sugar. It's worth the 20-minute drive from downtown Phoenix to the Wigwam Resort. www.wigwamresort.com.

Angelina's Mexican Food Restaurant

5115 North 27th Avenue (inside SwapMart), 602-973-2344. Hours: Breakfast, lunch and early dinner,

Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The cooks at Angelina's make poof-perfect fry bread from a recipe handed down through generations of Native American cooking. I can see them behind the counter of the stall-front shop, rolling the dough, working it into ovals, puncturing its middle and dropping it into fryers. The bread emerges glistening, puffy, crisp-edged and steaming hot, just as it should be.Angelina's doesn't skimp on size; these are hefty monsters squatting on necessarily sturdy Chinet-style plates. But a more pleasant threat I couldn't imagine than the open-faced fry bread tacos ($4.75) -- topped with hoards of red or green chili, ground or shredded beef, or chicken. These are top-quality stuffings: the torn, spicy beef or all-white-meat poultry is laced with tangy-tuned cheddar, silky beans, lettuce and tomato. Ground beef, though fresh, is slightly chewy, but red chili comes in big chunks so vigorously seasoned that we pass up Angelina's excellent homemade salsa. Whichever our toppings, it all melts together in a satisfying goo while the bread remains impossibly crispy. Angelina's fry bread, in fact, retains its bubble-light goodness even in takeout, when we savor it au naturel ($2.50) with simple shakes of powdered sugar and sticky squeezings of honey.

Old Tortilla Factory

6910 E. Main Street, Scottsdale Az., Tel 480-945-4567

Aside from the tasty Sonoran cuisine and the best homemade tortillas in Scottsdale, the draw here is the location in a historic adobe home in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Hundred-year-old pecan trees shade the large flagstone patio, which is the spot for alfresco dining or for sipping a margarita made with one of the premium tequilas. Signature dishes include ancho raspberry-encrusted pork chops and Shawnee sea bass -- pan-seared and served with a rock shrimp and cheese

quesadilla, topped with shoestring sweet potatoes. Save room for dessert: the banana crisp wrapped in a sweet tortilla with blackberry compote is out of this world. AE, D, DC, MC, V. No lunch.

Indian fry bread, pumpkin bread, and Indian burgers and tacos, but you'll also find more common fare, such as burgers and fish. Try the Miccosukee Platter for a sampling of native dishes, including gator bites. Breakfast and lunch are served daily. AE, D, MC, V. No dinner. $10 to $15 range.

Indigo Grill

A visionary chef named Deborah Scott, along with San Diego restaurateurs David and Lesley Cohn, opened their second venture together with the revamped Indigo Grill. The restaurant showcases revolutionary food and exemplary service, with cuisine spanning from Alaska to Oaxaca. Guests find themselves transported into a different dimension - a world where formlessness meets form, where chaos meets order. The décor mixes surreal and symmetrical, primitive with refined - a travelogue from the arctic north to the sun-drenched south.As you enter Indigo Grill, a large spruce tree lends a sense of nature and focus. Deeper inside you find the community table, signifying belonging and togetherness. As you venture farther, the wood-stone oven offers warmth and rustic flair, while the surrounding totems and masks reflect

the indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest and southern Mexico.And then comes the food...From "Beginnings" - Roasted Butternut Squash Soup or the Stacked Beet Salad - to "Sunset Offerings" - Jalapeño-Maize Pappardelle with Fennel Prawns or the Alderwood Plank Salmon with Smoked Oaxacan Cheese -Chef Scott delivers her menu as she displays her restaurant: "A love letter to the people, foods, and art that have touched her throughout the years." (Robin Klevens, "San Diego Union-Tribune") A Chef of the Year winner five years running, Chef Scott has a fascination with regional cooking and cultures. Indigo boasts a full bar with an extensive selection of tequilas, mescals, and rums, and remarkable margaritas and martinis. And your roundtrip tour isn't complete without delectable desserts from inventive Pastry Chef Sharon Bristol.

Corn Dance Cafe

Native American Cuisine Lunch and Dinner

(Santa Fe, NM) Hotel Santa Fe, the only Native American Owned hotel in Santa Fe, has opened a new restaurant, Corn Dance Cafe, June 15. The Cafe, originally located on Water Street, is the brainchild of Native American Chef, Loretta Barrett Oden. Ms. Oden and the owners of the hotel felt that opening a cafe that featured Native American Food was a perfect match for the hotel.

"My objective in opening a cafe that highlights Native American food is to capture people's attention with food and heighten awareness of our culture, " said Oden. "What better place to open Corn Dance than the

only Native-American-owned hotel in Santa Fe."Corn Dance Cafe offers a warm and casual dining experience where guests can enjoy their meals next to the kiva fireplace in the hotel's lobby and listen to local musicians and storytellers share their history and culture. Guests can also take their meals outdoors to the hotel's picturesque patio and grounds. Wherever they wish to feast, guests will be experiencing food with history.The menu features the now-famous Little Big Pie, an air-baked cross between pizza dough and fry bread, piled high with tempting yet healthy toppings like barbecued buffalo brisket, caramelized onions and goat cheese. Chef Loretta Oden has also created a spin-off of this traditional favorite called Little Big Horns. These corn-shaped breads can be filled with just about anything including spicy potatoes, salads or grilled meats, and their shape is perfect for take-out. Other items featured on the menus include buffalo chili in a jalapeno bread bowl, venison shanks with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled salmon with rosehip puree, wild turkey with corn bread, and grilled corn with chili oil."This is my way of honoring my people, especially the women," said Oden. "During feast or famine they managed to make wonderful, healthy foods for their families. Our goal is to do the same."Lunch and Dinner Menu Served from 11:30am to 2:00pm and 5:30pm to 9:00pm

Santa Fe's Only Native American Owned Hotel

Buffalo Grill

Wakinyan, a Lakota Sioux who goes by one name, and his family recently opened the Buffalo Grill at Liberty Plaza in downtown Salem Ore. Buffalo meat served at the restaurant comes from the family's Polk County ranch. Many customers first try the restaurant's buffalo-meat entrees, covering the gamut from buffalo burgers to buffalo pot pie for health reasons,

Wakinyan said. But it's the meat's flavor that builds repeat business. "We've had a tremendous response from the ommunity," he said. Restaurant sales are well ahead of expectations, he said.

Reviews:

A Good Selection of Vegetarian Choices Thursday dinner out is becoming something of a tradition for us. To avoid having it become a rut we've been trying out new places each week; La Indita is the latest. Located on 4th Ave in the shopping area, it's easy to find and pretty easy to find nearby parking (just park a block or two off 4th).After being seated in a booth with a menu we were asked about our drink of choice for the evening. Not having any time to see what they had, we instinctively said: iced tea. This turned out to be a mistake, since the tea was fruit flavored. Sorry, but tea should taste like tea, not fruit. We were happy to see that the menu had quite a  number of items that were either vegetarian (meatless, not vegan), or that could be prepared vegetarian. One of us settled on the green corn tamales (they were in season), the other a combination plate of mushroom enchiladas, spinach enchiladas, and a potato taco. While we waited for dinner we munched on the bowl of chips (warm) and salsa verde. Both were good, and it is entirely possible that both were made on site. Dinner arrived and it was hot! Not spicy hot, but surface of the sun hot. And over all it was pretty good, although there were a few rough spots. The side of Spanish rice was unexceptional: white rice with a few peas and carrots, almost no spices, and hence, no flavor. The refried beans were ordinary, nothing that you won't get at any other Mexican restaurant. These were the first green corn tamales we've had and they were quite good. Light in texture and flavor and none to filling, these make for a tasty dinner. It is easy to see why some people become passionate about green corn tamales. The mushroom enchiladas were very good, lots of grilled or sauteed mushrooms filling the enchilada wrapper. The spinach enchiladas also had generous portions of spinach stuffed inside. Interestingly, these were not covered in the usual enchilada sauce, it was more of a mild cream sauce. The potato taco, was just that cubes of potatoes in a crisp taco shell with the normal sides. This turns out to be better that it sounds; we might even try making these at home sometime.

Very eclectic, Nouveau Cuisine New Mexican at it's most cutting edge started right here. Expect Native American, New Mexican, Pacific Rim, Carribean, and lots of fresh, exotic mixes of flavors in both the food, decor, drinks, and clientele!

Eaten overlooking the Grand Canyon and was a treat of Native home cooking.

6 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day but Thursday

Just off Main Street, locals and visitors sit side by side at the Bluestem. If you've gone too far, once you turn around you'll see a huge blue arrow painted on the side of the brick building pointing you the right way.

The Bluestem is a classic diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's also the place to stop for a slice of pie and a cup of coffee after an afternoon spent shopping in downtown Pawhuska.The locals come to the Bluestem because they know they can get reliably good food -- hamburgers, chicken-fried steak, omelettes, fried potatoes, biscuits and gravy.Some people come every day for lunch. It would take awhile before you had to order the same thing twice off the menu.On Friday nights, the place gets crowded with those coming for the catfish special. It's only served on Fridays, and it's one of the best reasons to come.The other reason is for owner Mary Deckard's specialty -- American Indian food. About once a month, the restaurant serves traditional American Indian dinners hard to find in any Oklahoma restaurant. Grape dumplings, corn soup, meat pies and fry bread are part of the feast. Call ahead to find out about the Indian dinners.

Pawhuska is about 65 miles northwest of Tulsa. Take U.S. 412/U.S. 64 toward Sand Springs. Continue toward the Oklahoma 48 Cleveland/Pawnee/Bristow exit. Go straight to enter Oklahoma 99.

My wife had twauh-chull: grilled buffalo meat and onions served over a bed of wild rice with a homemade blue-corn tortilla, sautéed vegetables and beans. Both were delicious. Each meal was $12.95, and we went away well fed. We also tried two traditional drinks: Indian tea made from a wild-harvested herb, and atole.

The Laughing Water Restaurant at Crazy Horse Memorial

Provides meal service to visitors to the Memorial. The restaurant is open from May through October each year (exact dates depend on weather).

Restaurant specialties include:

Tatanka Stew -- Made from prime cuts of tender Black Hills buffalo, slow cooked with carrots, sweet peas, green and yellow onions, red potatoes, celery, and green peppers; simmered in our own blend of tasty seasonings and served with Indian fry bread.

Native American Taco -- Home-made Indian fry bread topped with taco meat, refried beans, green chili, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions and sour cream. This ethnic offering is truly a meal in itself and a favorite of Crazy Horse visitors.

The Laughing Water Restaurant takes its name from an area creek with headwaters at the base of Crazy Horse Mountain. It runs south to the town of Custer where it joins French Creek. During the drought of the 1930s, Laughing Water Creek was one of the few in the area that did not dry up. People from miles around would bring their wagons and barrels to fill them with water. We hope that when you join us at Laughing Water Restaurant. You will leave filled with great food, pleasant company and wonderful memories. Banquet and meetings rooms are available.

Dessert is also a hit. Our stuffed Indian fry bread is filled with sautéed bananas, cheesecake and a few berries with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and a caramel drizzle. Intense sweetness. The berry-topped crème brûlée has double the typical surface area, which means less fighting over that precious caramelized sugar crust.

Yoeme Tortillas and Catering Service

1545 N. Stone Ave.

Tucson, Az.

You've unknowingly passed the Yoeme café innumerable times and, sadly, you've no idea what you're missing. So get with it and get over there! Yoeme is Tucson's only Yaqui restaurant, offering a taste of real, down-home Arizona cuisine--you know, native food. Owned and operated by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Yoeme serves up traditional Indian fry bread like none other. We're not talking the thin, crispy impostors found elsewhere. This is can't-get-enough, sink-your-teeth-into, melt-in-your-mouth, thick-and-sinful Native American fry bread. Be sure to save room for the rice and corn soups, stuffed spiced-meat burritos and killer lemonade. And, remember, fry bread goes with everything: Eat it with stew, top it with sugar and honey, or take it on solo. But don't call yourself a Tucsonan until you've tried it.

Navajo Hogan

http://www.navajohogan.com/

NAVAJO HOGAN restaurant is a family-owned business, established in 1989. It is well known for its mouthwatering Native American dishes. The owners are of Native American (Jemez Pueblo) and Spanish decent. They were born and raised in New Mexico. With a lot of hard work, determination and perseverance, Navajo Hogan is flourishing, and is frequented by people from all over the world. Navajo Hogan has been reviewed favorably in local newspapers several times. The Restaurant was also voted one of the best places to eat in Salt Lake City, and was featured in Gourmet Magazine (January 2002) as one of the  top ten eateries in Salt Lake City. 

Bill and Marcie Espinoza have their own history, nothing glamorous, but one shared with hungry people since they opened a restaurant in a plain building in a plain neighborhood more than 11 years ago. Their tiny Navajo Hogan, a cinderblock structure on a nondescript stretch of 3300 South, is the place to go for fry bread, which makes an edible plate for all manner of toppings, including beans, meat and cinnamon sugar. It is cheap (nothing on the menu over $7), filling and more tasty than its simple components would predict. A steer could have no higher calling than to produce shredded beef that tastes like this.

If you are not quite that hungry, try a Pueblo Sandwich or a plate of Pueblo Poppers. Whatever you choose, do not forget the desert menu with Pumpkin Pinon Bread, sweet Fry Bread and Indian Pie.

Trip The Fry Bread Fantastic!

Recently, Indian fry bread was designated the state dish of Arizona,and is the sate dishes of South Dakota and wouldn't you know it, one of the best spots around for fry bread is at the Indian Village, in (you guessed it) Cave Creek. Stop in the store and say howdy to owners Ron and Marianne, Bart and Jennifer Krasson.I popped in on Bart one afternoon he said he was just about ready to chow down a hot dog, but ordered a couple of his special combo fry breads instead. After a swirl in the fryer, each golden and puffed disk was ladled with a shredded-beef-laced red chile sauce on one side, the remaining half drizzled with honey. Unusual but definitely tasty. I'm told in some parts the concoction is known as Navajo nachos. At the Indian Village it's not even on the menu, but if you want one ask for the Bart Special. Or make your own. Mix up a package of Indian Village's Squaw Kitchen Indian Fry Bread Mix, fry the rounds and top with a salsa (try Mad Coyote Salsa) or hot sauce of your choosing and folks will no doubt come a runnin'. Drop in or drop Bart a line to get your hands on packages of Fry Bread Mix.

Whether it’s the giant Buffalo ribs, Buffalo chili, Indian Tacos, fruit-topped fry bread, pulled pork sandwiches or Lujan’s famous “Flaming Arrows,” toothpicks dipped in his own really, really, hot sauce, once passers-by catch sight of someone enjoying Lujan’s food, you’ll inevitably see much pointing and nodding in the direction of the Red House BBQ tent.
While the four solid walls and comfortable seating area are still on hold, waiting for the right moment — and interested investors — Lujan manages to attract a long line of Tehachapi’s hungry diners to his Native American inspired “Red House BBQ” booth at the local Farmers’ Market & More, each Thursday afternoon.

Consetta"s

Jemez, New Mexico
(Consetta's, a charming restaurant  is open only at certain times of the year, and the only exceptionally good food we found in the area were the blueberry-corn pancakes at Deb's Diner.) Jemez is curiously uncrowded and tourist-free in the spring and fall, especially considering it's little more than an hour's drive north of Albuquerque International Sunport.
The Jemez are a tradition-oriented tribe that has rejected the idea of opening a casino. In fact, the pueblo is not open to the public except for certain festival days. Visitors can buy fry bread at a roadside stall and drive to individual houses.

Finding great restaurants like Arizona Native Frybread is why we started the Chow Down Phoenix blog. What a unique place. It is owned and operated by a friendly Native American crew who are genuinely interested in giving their customers a nice meal. The place is very clean with some Native American artwork hanging and available for sale. Pow-wow music with its characteristic beat of the drum plays softly in the background. After you place your order you can watch them stretch out the frybread and grill the meat. It is always nice when a restaurant makes the kitchen and cooking process visible.
The first time I went I ordered the green chili taco ($7). It was like a shredded beef burrito except in frybread instead of a tortilla and it was huge. It had excellent flavor with a little bit of a kick. My one very minor issue is that the green sauce can make the frybread soggy if you don’t eat it quick enough. The next time I went the owner talked me into trying the lamb, so I ordered the Navajo lamb sandwich ($8). This was another two-handed operation of lamb, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and green chili stuffed in a frybread. I was a little worried as the lamb I have had previously wasn’t very good, but this was exceptionally tasty and grilled to perfection. It could have used a sauce of some kind to give it a little moisture. My wife had the Apache taco ($6). Mashed pinto beans were spread on the frybread and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and red onions. It was more like an Apache Tostada than an Apache taco. My daughter had a thick homemade tortilla topped with peanut butter ($4) and for desert we had a frybread coated with cinnamon and sugar ($4). I would have preferred a little more cinnamon and sugar, but after such a big sandwich the allure of dessert had faded a bit. Next time I will have to decide between the Navajo hominy stew or the Apache burger.

Hopi Cultural Center Restaurant
Second Mesa, Arizona (northeast Arizona, surrounded by the Navajo reservation): found is about a couple of hours from Route 66 http://www.hopiculturalcenter.com
This place, located in a hotel complex, serves authentic native cuisine, and I ordered "nok qui vi," a stew made of lamb, balls of hominy and green chiles. Also good is the fry bread, sweetened with honey. Here's a review from the esteemed Fodor's guidebook: http://www.fodors.com/world/north-ameri ... 36865.html

Brenda's Stand
If the Hopi restaurant is too far off the trail -- it's definitely not a quick trip from Route 66 -- you can always swing into the Santo
Domingo reservation just west of the Mother Road between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Located along a small street (alley?) is a food trailer called Brenda's Stand that serves fry bread and other native-inspired snacks. Not as good a selection, but you'll still get a taste of a different culture.

Specializes in buffalo burgers, coyote fries and Apache soup.We tried the Apache Combo, a 1/4 pound buffalo burger with tomato, lettuce, and onion, along with Coyote Fries. Coyote fries are standard fries seasoned as "Howling Hot" or "Mild." The combo also includes Apache Soup, but does not contain any Apache meat (sorry, just had to go there). The soup is a "spicy blend of corn, hominy, daylily blooms, tumbleweed, moss, honeysuckle, veggies, herbs, spices." The tumbleweed and moss are probably what give the soup its toasted, earthy taste. When ordered as a platter, the meal includes caramel yam root, a variation on candied yams that arrives in a terra cotta dish of the type usually found under potted plants, authentic to the Southwest theme, but startling to the Midwestern eye.The store is set back from the road, and at first glance, does not seem to be a store at all, but someone's home. As you enter the store, you see Ladyhawke's Medicine Lodge, where you can have your ears candled and your life force tested. This juxtaposition of Southwest Shamanism and New Age Naturopathic Medicine brings forth images of San Francisco communes of the early seventies.
