Situated in Montana ’s Yellowstone Country, Madison Buffalo Jump State park was named for the ancient buffalo jump, an indigenous hunting tactic used by Native American tribes. After driving far from civilization and hiking through the historic land, visitors can take in the park’s wide-open vista from an observation platform. Here, it’s easy to picture the excited activity of a buffalo jump.

Horses allowed indigenous people to follow bison herds and hunt bison more easily than by using buffalo jumps. Wednesday May 29, 1805. The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (Volume 4).

Long before the arrival of horses to North America, native people hunted bison on foot, stampeding these massive animals over steep cliffs so they would fall to their deaths. This method of hunting was dangerous but the rewards could be enormous. A single jump could feed, clothe, and shelter the people for a whole year. Much planning went into this perilous endeavor. Method of the hunt [ edit ] Buffalo being chased off a cliff, painted by Alfred Jacob Miller in the late 19th century. A buffalo jump, or sometimes bison jump, is a cliff formation which Indigenous peoples of North America historically used to hunt and kill plains bison in mass quantities. The broader term game jump refers to a man-made jump or cliff used for hunting other game, such as reindeer.The native tribes hunted their prey without guns or even horses, but by strategically using the natural landscape. A young boy would dress in the pelt of a buffalo calf and lure the animals to the edge of the cliff, while athletic young men trained as runners would shepherd the herd from behind. The bison would plummet to their deaths in a frenzy. At the bottom of the hill, pelts, meat, and bones could be harvested from the fallen animals. About the Vore Buffalo Jump". Vore Buffalo Jump.
