Alberta is a treasure trove of history and culture, especially when it comes to its Indigenous heritage. One of the standout destinations is Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that celebrates over 6,000 years of Plains Buffalo culture.

This site, located on Blackfoot Confederacy territory, is inviting for visitors of all ages. It provides a unique chance to connect with generations of tradition and understand the importance of buffalo to Indigenous peoples.

The newly opened Buffalo Hunt exhibit adds a deeper layer to this experience. Created in collaboration with the Piikani Nation, the Canadian Museum of History, and Alberta’s government, this exhibit showcases traditional hunting methods used by the Blackfoot people.

From the stunning diorama that captures the essence of the buffalo hunt to the stories shared by Piikani Elders, the exhibit is a must-visit. It is not just a display; it’s a cultural immersion that highlights the strength and resilience of the Blackfoot Peoples.

Visitors can see how the buffalo hunt shaped not just livelihoods but also spiritual beliefs and cultural identity. Plus, admission is free for Indigenous Peoples, making it accessible for everyone who wants to explore Alberta's rich heritage.
