    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    Cayuga (Iroquois)

    It sure looked like a language that had had
    more than a casual brush with Froggish.

    Most Metis Creoles generally do. The one called Michif is a French-
    Cree mix. Cree is similar to Atlantic Canada Mi'gmaq (or Mic Mac),
    Algonquin (from where I grew up), Salteaux (that's where Roslind's
    little bit of Native ancestry comes from), Objibwe (Chippewa) and
    Dane-zaa (Beaver Tribe) from where Roslind grew up near Fort
    Vermilion in northern Alberta. (They are all in the Algonkian family
    of languages. So is Dakota/Lakota/Nakota for that matter.) She
    learned the Beaver dialect/language there as a child but could still
    understand the young Algonquin woman who was the curator of the
    little museum on the Golden Lake Reserve near Cobden, Ontario, 3000
    miles away and 45 years later.

    Les Petoncles a la Nage

    Claude Cyr, chef-proprietor of Au Coin de la Baie in Metis Sur
    Mer, makes a simple soup from scallops and vegetables.

    In a medium saucepan, bring wine, fish, stock and vegetables to a
    boil, season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat and simmer 5
    minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp. Place 6 scallops in
    each of 2 heated bowls. Divide the very hot stock among the bowls,
    stir briefly and serve at once.
