Buffalo Hunters Kill Buffaloes By Cliff-Edge Wedges
Buffalo herds on the Montana plains were driven toward wedge shaped stone wedges set at cliff edges. Indians lured the animals, driving them to leap to their deaths and be slaughtered for meat hides and tallow. Squaws processed meat into pemmican and crafted robes, moccasins and utensils from skins. Millions of buffalo once roamed the plains, with historic delays noted as late as 1869.
