After Glacier National Park, we headed to a campground in the little town of Granum in southern Alberta, Canada. From here we visited the World Heritage historical site of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Here the native Blackfoot people killed buffalo by stampeding them over a cliff and then harvested them as their main resource. They were also having a demonstration of native Blackfoot dancers in native regalia.
The accumulation of bones and natural erosion have reduced the height of the buffalo jump cliff to about half of the original height.
