Description:
For more than 10,000 years, Plains Indians drove herds of buffalo off the cliffs to their deaths at this historical site. In a highly organized and choreographed effort, the tribe collaborated to obtain meat and other animal goods for their subsistence. Visitors can learn all about the Native American culture at the incredible interpretive center that's built into the cliff. A variety of exhibits provides details about the Indians, the geography of the plains, and the presence of Europeans in later days. Along with the realistic displays, visitors may walk outside to the jump and catch a glimpse of this centuries-old site. Ongoing archeological digs continue to add information to the center. Also on the premises are a cafeteria and gift shop. Located about 2 hours drive from Calgary.
