Imagining Head-Smashed-In : Aboriginal Buffalo Hunting on the Northern Plains (Paperback)

For millennia, Aboriginal hunters on the North American Plains use their knowledge of the land and of buffalo behaviour to drive their quarry over cliffs. Archaeologist Jack Brink has written a major study of the mass buffalo hunts and the culture they supported before and after European contact. By way of example, he draws on his 25 years excavating at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in southwestern Alberta, Canada – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
