Association continues their work, and are available to do presentations in different
communities about organizing and building a project. The Cookbook is also
available for $14 postpaid.For more information:Bev BrownLovesick Lake Native Women's AssociationGeneral DeliveryBurleigh Falls, Ontario, KOL 1KO--AC & PTPG Postcript:Now, you can order that cookbook just by punching in your credit card, on the
Native Book Centre's web page, and see what 5 years of progress -- with the camp in
operation for their youth -- has meant. To me this history of determined and
tenacious women makes that cookbook something that belongs on every Native
person's bookshelf, whether or not you ever set eyes on a deer or any other wild game.
Similarly, for schools, this cookbook is (or could be) a social studies text. You'll find it
listed well down the page on Native Book Centre's menu, as Rural and Native
Heritage Cookbook, Lovesick Lake Native Women Association, Toronto, 1985, 160
pages and index, soft cover, $11.50 US / $13.00 CANWhat a contrast -- these determined women and their years of effort, their
modestly-produced and modestly-priced cookbook, compare it to the one that
immediately follows it in the cookbooks section of the RECIPES page, the
lavishly-illustrated, high-priced for-profit glamour jobbie. That one's nice, it's
gorgeous and most of the recipes are pretty good too. But....The Lovesick Ladies Cookbook doesn't need glamour. It is itself a piece, small but
tasty, of Native history. A all-round good buy for school or personal bookshelf
(whether or not you cook), easily done from the Canadian Native Book Centre., use
either the browse list (foods) or search, using "lovesick" as AUTHOR. They have
many other Native books you'll probably like, too. This one, though, helps keep that
Native Heritage Camp going, which those ladies worked 14 years to get for their kids.Native Foods -- Lovesick Lake Ladies
