Hunting indian relics In N central Mt Video

http://www.huntingrelics.com our site for all kinds of hunting and adventures on our farms and ranches. A buffalo jump is a cliff formation which North American Indians historically used to kill plains bison by herding the bison and driving them over the cliff. It is also known as a "pishkun" by the Blackfeet Indian Tribe which can be loosely translated as "deep blood kettle"

Once the buffalo were herded over the cliff members of the tribe waiting below closed in with spears and bows to finish the hunt.

Buffalo jump sites are often identified by rock cairns, which signified markers designating "drive lanes", by which bison would be funneled over the cliff, breaking their legs, rendering them immobile. Often these drive lanes would stretch for miles on end. This type of hunting was a communal event, which lasted until at least 1500 CE, around the time of the introduction of horses.

Buffalo jump sites yield significant archaeological evidence because processing sites and camps were always nearby. These sites yield information as to how the Native Americans used the sites to obtain bison for food, clothing and shelter. Every part of the bison was used by the tribes who hunted them; Plains Indians counted on buffalo for their very survival.

Sites of interest include Head-Smashed-In, Ulm Pishkun, Madison Buffalo Jump, Dry Island, Glenrock, Big Goose Creek, Vore,[1] and Olsen Chubbock.

BAJR: Do you record anything you find...or is it just picking up things and thats it? Do you have no responsibility to the past? I like that you make it clear that it is private land, as this suggests that you know that this defends from the legal protection of sites on federal land. Mining our past for profit...!
