Native American Indian Meat Pie Recipe?

Question

Anyone got a native american indian meat pie recipe that is homemade? I do not like using the pie pastry stuff. The meat pie I had the crust was so soft and it was not deep fried, yuck! The girl told me how to make it with bisquick that sold it for the indian bingo hall I worked at. I went home and tried it to come out a total flop and not soft like hers was, and I did exactly what she told me. Found out later that this recipe doesn't get out since it's only passed in families. Her meat pie had ground beef and cheese only for the filling.
Please help I've been looking for an awesome homemade from scratch meat pie recipe.

How about a nice recipe for Indian corn pudding or good ole bannock, even Cherokee-style acorn soup? I also have bean bread. They used to eat fish and occasionally venison. I don't do wild meat. Only a meanie eats a wild animal..
