    Old Women's Buffalo Jump is a historic hunting site located in southern Alberta, Canada. The site was used by indigenous peoples, particularly the Blackfoot Confederacy, where bison (buffalo) were driven over the cliffs as a means of hunting. This historical practice relied on natural terrain and strategic group coordination to secure food, hides, and other resources. Named after a Blackfoot legend, the site is a testament to Indigenous ingenuity and the deep connection between people and land.
