#18 VISITING HEAD-SMASHED-IN BUFFALO JUMP

On Saturday my wife and I took our granddaughter with us and visited Head-smashed-in Buffalo Jump.

What an amazing piece of history to learn about. The tactics that were learned by the Blackfoot Indians through tracking and watching the buffalo, then using what they had learned of their behavior to create a stampede and direct the buffalo over the cliff. This tactic had been used by the natives for over 5800 years in the western plains to bring food and supplies to the tribe.

This area is the most well preserved buffalo jump locations that have ever been discovered.  I recommend a tour of this facility to anyone interested in history.

Visiting Head-smashed-in Buffalo Jump makes me happy.
