Dogs went with them on their for

down game.
When bear or caribou was slain,
the men would return to their wig
vans and tell their squaws to go out
and get it. The women would skin
the game on the spot and would
cut the meat into pieces. Then they
would carry both meat and hide
to the village. Later they used the
hide to make clothing.
The pieces of meat were placed
in wooden bowls or other contain
ers. Water was poured over the
meat, and hot stones were dropped
into the water. The stones were
so hot that they would set the
water to boiling.
Micmic men were the first to
feast. Often they would have con-
tests, of q sort, to learn which one
could eat the most meat. White
