Overview

Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Head-Smashed-In is among the oldest, largest and best preserved of hundreds of buffalo jump sites across the western Plains. The site exemplifies the ancient hunting practice of aboriginal plains tribes corralling and stampeding the buffalo off of a cliff and harvesting the animals below for food, shelter, weapons and tools. Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Centre documents the buffalo hunting culture of the Plains Indians from ancient times to the arrival of the Europeans.
