While my knowledge of the Cree is pretty sparse, I think it has to do with 
the fact that the meat closer to the bone has better flavor, and also, I seem 
to recall, there is a "religious" significance to it as well.  Or would 
"spiritual" be a better term.  Hmmnn... now I have to go pull out my 
handy-dandy "Native American Religions" textbook (from the trunk of my car?  
Naw, not this one...it's actually on the bookshelf)
