Note 341 — Chapter XXVI · OBSERVATIONS ON THE TRIBE OF THE MANITARIES, OR GROS VENTRES
Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
La Vérendrye (Canadian Archives, 1889, p. 21), speaking of these feasts, says: "They are for the most part great eaters; are eager for feasts. They brought me every day more than twenty dishes of wheat, beans, and pumpkins, all cooked. Mr. de la Marque, who did not hate feasts, went to them continually with my children."—Ed.
