  • There are many succulent Cree delicacies that have been passed down from generation to generation. They're made with wild game and fresh ingredients using traditional methods. In Whapmagoostui, elder Sandy Masty invites us to his camp and shows us how to make some delicious pemmican!

      when you make it, make sure to get your fat from suet (the fat around the organs) or from grass finished ruminants. The less unsaturated fat, the better; both from a health perspective and from a shelf stability perspective.

    Once prepared, is it squashed out thin on a plate (or stone or piece of wood) and allowed to dry (either 'air' or by a low fire)... and then broken up & packed? I heard what he said about it tasting best when frozen, but I assume it's made in the Fall after hunting?.
    I'm just wondering what the final steps are after you reach the stage that he did in the video. Does anyone know?

      @71160000 6 лет назад

      Are you asking about the blanket, and the two rocks he used? Perhaps the knife and the wood fire. I would imagine they used a clay pot to cook in. When finished and dry they wrapped it in animal hide to protect it. It's just dried meat and fat but the fat is a preservative so no refrigeration is needed. Adding berries though improving the flavor also decreases the shelf life.

    • @heir67
      @heir67 3 года назад

      It would be a wooden pot overtop of stones that were heated up over a fire(at least before the Europeans came) and also a wood and stone pounder and a wooden or stone or possibly obsidian knife. (probably not obsidian, I just know they used that for arrowheads sometimes). The blanket would be hide, and I have no idea what the sift would be.

    Interesting that the gentleman felt it necessary to sieve the powdered meat to keep it ultra-fine. I know of a commercial outfit that uses grass-feed cows exclusively. Everyone says grass-fed beef or wild game is best and tastes completely above and beyond feedlot cattle. Explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson stated the mix had to be a strict 50/50 by weight but I guess a traditionalist can do it by eye.

    The likes of Roald Admunsen and Ernest Shackleton mixed things like oats or pea flour etc., and it made for a tasty mix, but the likes of Peary and Stefansson insisted that those were extras and should be carried separately to be discarded for the straight stuff in an emergency. Pemmican is indelibly associated with polar exploration but it's an invention of the Plains Indians and was first adopted by the Canadien fur traders who had to paddle vast distances quickly.

      If you make pemmican with farmed deer, beef fat, and cranberries it tastes a bit better, but all in all it's powdered meat melted in fat.

    Assuming this is used as a primary food while isolated for a long period, adding berries is a very good idea. They provide vitamin C, one of the few vitamins the human body cannot produce itself. Not enough vitamin C, and you get scurvy, a serious and potentially fatal condition.

    Native Americans evolved of Asian after crossing a land bridge a million years ago so they share the shiny black hair genitics as azns but these particler Native Americans in the video are unusually short be being a meat eating people.

      Back in the day when starvation was silently killing my ancestors, they used every single part of any game they killed. Of course when larger animals such as bears and caribou were killed, there was plenty of meat that needed to be preserved for later...and since we were nomadic people, the travelling forced them to find ways to not waste it. They boiled the meat, dried it and used some of it for this purpose....the organs as well were preserved...Today, we still practice this as it has become tradition. Sandy Masty was my grandfather and he passed away several years ago. I had the privilege to film him making this dish for me and my CBC crew. I grew up on this stuff and still eat it whenever I have the chance!
