A little history about bannock! 
Life is bannock! Every Indigenous nation across Turtle Island (North America) has its own version of bannock, and many Indigenous families have their own recipe that is passed down through the generations. Some Indigenous peoples made bannock prior to the arrival of Europeans with a wild plant called camas. However, Europeans introduced wheat flour, and a Scottish flat cake called bannock. The use of bannock by Indigenous peoples evolved over time based on the ingredients available. Today, many Indigenous people make baked and fried versions of bannock with wheat flour. Bannock is a popular item to find at pow wows, round dances, gatherings, and community events.
