Buffalo Bills Dam We came across the dam in the early evening. Alas, it was too late for the tour of the visitors centre. After a quick look around we headed onwards to pastures new, in the hopes of finding somewhere to stay for the night.

A Very Effective Trap!

Plains Indian groups stampeded bison over the rim and into a deep natural "sink hole" at the site which is now called the Vore Buffalo Jump. It was one of the most effective means available to the Indians to procure the buffalo which were their primary food and the source of many other materials used in their cultures.

It is believed that up to 20,000 of the shaggy bison were trapped at this one location.

While there were undoubtedly many other buffalo jumps scattered throughout the Plains,.

The Vore site has several unique properties...
