- Description
- Gives information on buffalos; they don't see well, don't have a good sense of smell, and depend on one another. A cliff called Head-Smashed-In is located in Southwest Alberta. It was named after a lone Peigan Blackfoot who was crushed to death watching the buffalos plunge off the cliff. in 1981 the land became a World Heritage Site due to the amount of bone beds discovered by archiologists. An interpretive center was created at the site by the provincial government of Alberta. This center showcases the long history of the Plains. It has hands-on exhibits and a working laboratory where artifacts are studied.
