The Iroquois were blessed with clear, cool lakes and sparkling streams, and
both served up an abundance of fish. Fish soup, or u'nega'gei, as the
Iroquois called it, was a favorite. One early recipe is described, "Fish of
any kind is boiled in a pot with a quantity of water. It is then removed
and coarse corn siftings stirred in to make a soup of suitable
consistency."  When wild onions and greens were available, they were
usually tossed into the soup pot, adding both color and flavor.

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
