The cliff—where the buffalo fell for a thousand years.

First Peoples Buffalo Jump is a site in Ulm, Montana. The cliff—where the buffalo fell for a thousand years. HauntHunt files it with Indigenous heritage, archaeology and local folklore. The presence its accounts keep returning to is the one they call the hunters. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

First Peoples is the largest — the buffalo jump that's the biggest, the 18 feet of bone. The pishkun is the deep — the 'blood kettle' that's the Blackfeet, the 1,000 years that's the use. The runner was the boy — the cliff that he approached, the ledge that he hid on.
The drive was the sacred — the 13 tribes that used it, the cairns that are the lines. The Lewis was the '05 — the Tower Rock that he climbed, the trail that's the Old North. First Peoples is the longest — the continuous use that's the record, the ceremonies that continue.
The file keeps First Peoples: the buffalo jump, the 18-foot bone bed, the runner, and the 13 tribes.
First Peoples is the archive's Montana file — the largest pishkun.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
First Peoples is the archive's Montana file — the sacred hunt.
A cliff keeps its bones — the file's suggestion being that First Peoples' hold is the scale: the 18 feet of remains, the 1,000 years of use, and the ceremonies that continue.
