Did she get $5 and stay at a fast food place? And did her grandpa admit that he had met up with some hunters (?), and stayed with them? Because if that's the case, it sounds really familiar...

...And I can't think of the name either. Dammit. (>_<)'

Found it for you! It's the short story Ta-na-e-ka, by Mary Whitebird.

I used Google Book search with (+"Wilderness" + "five dollars" +grandfather) and got a snippet view of a sixth-grade reader that looked promising and included "Ta-Na-E-Ka" as the name of the ritual. Googling that got me the link above.
