Do you count dumplings cooked on top of the stew or chili in the Dutch oven?

Nice !!!

I think Campfire Biscuits or Dumplings qualify

I haven't made Chicken and Dumplings in some time Mmmmmmm

In the past I have made fry bread and sopapillas, but the thing I really like is hot water cornbread cooked in lard.

In these parts native americans sell fry bread on the roadside. They are famous for it.

I miss going to the Jemez and getting fry bread. I have fond memories.

I have had bannock on the local reserve but don't know if they sell it. Can be good with in season fresh blue berries.

Navajo fry bread appears to have a very bitter/sweet background. Seems it was first concocted with what the US government gave them as they were forced off their land.

I've never made it but I have made hushpuppys which seem to have their own sordid history.

What is "sordid" about hush puppies. I have them in some of the best restaurants in New Orleans

They were probably making it long before Kit Carson began his scorched earth policy with them. In the end they got all their land back plus a lot more. They are probably the only tribe to do well in the end.
