You can count on one hand the words from Cree (a Native American language) that have earned a spot in English dictionaries, but this is one of them: a kind of portable food, made from lean dried meat mixed with fat. Campers today make an updated version of it, containing a wider range of nutrients.

'Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History.'
- Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, thinking, Isn't that obvious?
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"For reading a book," she replies.
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.
"Officer, I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment, you could start at any moment... I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"Fine. If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you!" the game warden exclaims.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day, ma'am," he said then left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
