The tawquoy-meen-ahtick of the Crees is a handsome small tree, rising on the sandy plains of the Saskat- 

 chawan to the height of twenty feet, but extending* as far north as Great Slave Lake, where it attains the 

 height of five feet only. Its fruit, termed Tawquoymeena, or Choke-cherry, is not very edible in a recent state, 

 but when dried and bruised, forms an esteemed addition to pemmican.

common 



It abounds on the sandy plains of the Saskatchewan. Its 



arrows 



termed by the Canadian voyagers lots defleche. Its berries, about the size of a pea, are the finest fruit in the 

 country, and are used by the Crees under the name of Meesasscootoom-meena, both in a fresh and dried state. 

 They form a pleasant addition to pemmican, and make excellent puddings, very little inferior to plum- 

 puddings.
