Corn-cob in the husk, or Wades'konduk o'nis'ta

From Iroquois Uses of Maize and other Food Plants, by A.C.Parker (1910):

The embers from the camp or hearth fire were brushed aside and a row of unhusked ears laid in the hot stones or ground. These were then covered with cold ashes from the ash pit. Embers were now heaped over and a hot fire built and continued until the corn beneath was thought sufficiently baked. "Corn baked in this manner has a fine flavor and never becomes scorched." (p.68)
