medicine piece 
Obs. See quote.
- 1804 (1890) Every Indian has what they call his "medecine piece" of all the game he kills, such as the snout of the moose, the tongue and heart of the deer, the paws of the bear, and so on; this piece is always cooked by itself and no female, young or old, ever dare taste it, if she did, she would either die or turn as black as jet and lose all her nails.
