Buffalo Jump
Uploaded: August 19, 2010
This Image Was Taken At
"BUFFALO JUMP HEAD SMASHED IN"
Alberta Canada
(Google it! That's The Name!)
In The Days Of Old The
NATIVE INDIANS IN THIS AREA
Used To RUN BUFFALO Off of A Huge Cliff
TO GATHER FOOD FOR THE WINTER
Each Buffalo was skinned within minutes and
the meat hung to dry.
Then cured and buried for the winter
This Museum Was Amazing To View On Our
PRAIRIE CAMPING TRIP.
I Will Include the Before Image Below.

I am so pleased that you like it! Yippeee!!
It was out of the NORM for me. Glad I took the chance.
Mumj, they didn't waste one little tiny speck of the Buffalo's. Thay used each part for things. Tools and TeePee's and clothing. Amazing respect. The animals that died didn't die in vain.
Thank you all for your wonderful support!

Hi Paddy! Well....they WERE the real deal at one time! HA! Does this count? I like the one with his tongue hanging out. He had been running HARD!
We got to see a movie about how they ran them to their demise. They gently herded them in to a narrow pathway using branches of trees that they lined up like edges of a street kind of. THEN in the last few hundred feet, a couple of the younger men dressed themselves in wolves hide and spooked them into a stampede. RIGHT before the cliff the (pretend) wolf or wolves darted to the side of the tree branches and let the buffalo run over the cliff to their death. Up to 5,000 of them. Amazing really!

Gosh Tammy. I'd have LOVED to put a blue sky in the back but I don't think I have this in my PSE7 program. I bet it's a plug in!? I put an orange BG in and it looked funky. ;)

Thanks Steve! Happy you like it!

John, me too! Wonderful how they lived and survived. I respect them so much for not killing animals for their Hyde alone and leaving the rest to rot. :( ! That happened A LOT but not with the Natives. They have too much respect for Mother Earth and The Creator!
I enjoyed your comments so much you guys! Thank you so much!

WE BOOKED ON THE 18TH- BUFFALO TO L.A. THE THREE OF US PLUS A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS ONE NIGHT STAY IN L.A. THE NIGHT BEFORE WE LEAVE - FOR ONLY 1083.39 CAD...
UNBELIEVABLE! EXCELLENT PRICE EH?
