Synopsis

The Vore Buffalo Jump Site is a natural sinkhole located directly off Interstate 90 between Spearfish, SD and Sundance, WY. It was the site of many buffalo hunts carried out by early Native Americans before the introduction of horses in this area significantly changed the lives of these people. This site is an ongoing archaeological dig site that was discovered when Interstate 90 was being planned and is shedding much light on the process of buffalo jumps. Early nomadic people, without horses, would drive the buffalo, their sacred brother, over the edge of the sinkhole. From the buffalo, they would obtain the food and supplies they needed to survive on the Northern Plains. This particular site was used from the 1500s to about 1800. This book is a coloring and activity book about the process. The coloring book section has a story line that shows a band of early Native Americans who are going on a buffalo hunt before the 1800s. Each page is paired with a "How do we know" section that explains the research behind that particular picture. The book contains much information about the history and geology of the area and illustrates how early people managed without the horse. It is recommended for the entire family.
