About: Pânsâwân
Pânsâwân, or dry meat, is a type of dried smoked meat product made by the indigenous peoples of Canada including the Cree, Dene, and Métis. The term is loosely translated from the Cree language as "thin-sliced meat" with the meat used for its production from bison, elk, or moose. It is commonly made in the indigenous community, considered a delicacy, and is also culturally significant. Due to the popularity of the product and interest in indigenous foods, the product is sold globally and many Canadian grocery chains have begun to sell the product domestically.
