In this video, I share how to Sakabaun waterfowl. I do it with a duck here, but the same thing works with Goose. Sakabaun is a Cree word that means The Goose That are Strung / Spun. It’s a traditional Cree way of cooking goose that I learn in Moosonee, Ontario, Canada from the James Bay Cree who are excellent goose hunters.

see Ron the porcupine River northern
Saskatchewan and I was able to jump
shoot a yearling duck I’m gonna roast
this over the fire and I’m gonna do it
in a way that was taught to me by the
cree natives in Moosonee ontario it’s
called Sokka bond which technically
means the goose that are strung up and
spun gonna pluck it out here best to
take the wings off at the first joint
and there’s our plucked duck admittedly
not the best plucking job it’s good to
get a good fire good coals and have a
lot of wood in store what I’m gonna do
this time I’m going to tie in another
stick from one tree to the other tree
that’s gonna be more or less right
beside the fire and I’m gonna hang my
duck off that cut a little branch off a
tree thick enough to support the ducks
weight that’s nice and sharp on either
end cut open the parachute cord and just
take a couple strands out of it now I’m
just gonna tie a bowline knot at the
bottom we’re gonna take this stick that
we sharpened right through there I’m
just gonna loop it right over that stick
just gonna tie this off right here and
we have a roast duck the Cree way make
sure it keeps spinning so every once in
a while just spin it back up but it’ll
spin back and forth like that for a
while I’m thinking that ducks gonna take
maybe now or maybe a bit more depending
on the heat of the fire okay that’s been
roasting for a while
good
absolutely delicious
