Bannock, a baking-powder bread, has been a staple food for people living in the bush for as long as the ingredients have been available - no domestic grains are indigenous to northern Saskatchewan. It can be mixed up anywhere, even in the mouth of a flour sack. It keeps very well, does not mould easily, tastes good, and is solid and nourishing.
A set of 102 photos of Mary Eninew showing the making of birch syrup. In the spring when the sap begins to rise it is time to make birch syrup.

The women and children would enjoy the freedom of being outside as they gathered birch sap and made syrup. The syrup will be a delicious treat on hot bannock!
