Ceremonies
submitted by Mike Pedde
Here’s a humorous story concerning ceremonies and the reason for them.
Two Cree sisters were preparing a moose roast for a ceremonial feast. The elder of the
two put the roast on the counter, cut both ends off, put the roast in the pan, and put it
in the oven. When her sister asked her why she did that, the response was that it was
feast food. "You have to cut the ends off the moose roast for feast food." But why?
"Don't
know," Mama always did it that way. So, we'll go ask Mama.
Mama, why is it that you have cut the ends off the moose roast for feast food?
"Don't
know, Grandma always did it that way." So, we'll go ask Grandma.
Grandma, why is it that you always cut the ends off the moose roast for feast food?
"Pan
too small, didn't fit."
