South Dakota State Bread
Fry bread 
Adopted on February 7, 2005.
Fry bread was adopted as South
Dakota's State Bread on February 7, 2005.
The South Dakota Legislature approved a bill designating fry bread, an American Indian staple, as the official state bread.
The House voted 64-3 to add fry bread to the long list of state symbols that includes coyotes, Houdek soil, honey bees and walleyes, and making South Dakota the first in the nation to choose fry bread as a state symbol.
Supporters have said it is time for the state to officially recognize a symbol of Indian culture.
"Does it represent our heritage? Does it represent our culture? Does it represent our history?" asked State Rep. Larry Rhoden, a Republican. He said yes to all three.
