Producer: Town of High River
The Old Women’s buffalo jump ( “Old” refers to the age of the jump) is located 13 km south of High River. It was discovered during a flash flood in 1952. Excavations in 1958/59 revealed bones and artifacts over 2000 years old. Before the Plains tribes had horses and guns, they would run herds of buffalo off steep cliffs. Warriors would wait below with arrows, knives and clubs to kill any animals which survived the fall.
