This site is located northwest of Fort MacLeod, where we stayed for 2 days. For 5 to 6,000 years, Indians hunted buffalo on the prairies of Alberta. This was how they accomplished a major kill; by "herding" them into a narrowing avenue of the prairie, getting them going so fast that they couldn't see or turn back from the cliff. They didn't have horses yet, but were skilled at this method of providing food for their tribes. The center was built in the late 80's, but is beautifully done and looks and seems brand new.
