Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Canada

HEAD-SMASHED-IN BUFFALO JUMP (Canada)

North America Plains Indians developed a hunting method using buffalo jumps, where bison herds were driven over low cliffs and, once disabled, slaughtered. One such is found at the  foot of the Rockies less than 100 miles south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This 35-foot cliff was used for over 5,000 years, til about 1850. Vast quantities of skeletons are still found.
