The Buffalo Jump


I read an article explaining how Native Americans hunted buffalo by chasing them off cliffs. These cliffs were called "buffalo jumps."

  1. That is sad but cool at the same time. Did they do that to kill multiple at a time only? It's usually shown that they kill a few of them with their arrows and stuff but maybe that is stereotype or something.

  2. To me, that's just asinine- you'd have to go down a steep cliff just to pick up a dead buffalo?

  4. It makes me sad. I don't know how I would survive long ago because I'd have a hard time watching or doing something like this. It's either that or starve though.
