United States of America and they used to plant crops in the fertile
lands.

They mostly carried on trade with Spanish,
Apache Indians, and Mexicans, who were considered the pioneers of trade in that
era.
But
during 1840’s they tried to capture the land of the Navajo, and numerous disagreements took the shape of a
battle.

Many people of Navajo
were captured and held captive for four years and during this time the government only supplied
salt, sugar, flour, and yeast; these simple ingredients gave birth to the Indian fry bread
recipe.
