Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Just Googled and found this:- Native people of the Northwest Plains used Head-Smashed-In as one of the many ingenious traps designed to kill large numbers of bison. They used skilful decoy techniques to round up herds of buffalo and stampeded them across the Porcupine Hills and over a 10 m-high cliff. Hunters waiting below the cliff killed and butchered the animals, obtaining great quantities of meat, hide and bone |
