Wednesday, April 11, 1973. Vore Buffalo Jump.
Today In Wyoming's History: April 11: 1973 Vore Buffalo Jump added to the National Register of Historic Places.
I'm sorry to say, I've never been there.
I suppose it's worth noting that aboriginal natives in North America, contrary to the way that this is sometimes supposed, took game animals in mass, when the opportunity presented itself. This means that, at least as to these instances, the "use everything" story so often repeated in regard to native taking of game animals is incorrect.
This was limited, however, by the fact that the opportunity didn't present itself everyday, and the human population itself was limited. Indeed, the "hunted to extinction" story so often repeated about ancient human populations in North America is, I suspect, over done.
