label: Notes
content: This is most likely made from corn meal. See p. 26 in Frances Densmore's Northern Ute Music, Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 75. In a section on Food, Densmore says: "Corn is still ground by placing it on a broad, flat stone and rolling over it a rather long, round stone. The resultant meal is mixed with water and baked on heated earth, from which the ashes of a fire have been removed."
