We take make a brief stop across the border with this page, which presents a buffalo jump site located near the Milk River, in northeastern Montana. This buffalo kill site was used by the Besant, Avonlea and Saddle Butte peoples (the former two having hunted and camped on the southern Alberta plains as part of their migratory route). This page includes a virtual tour of the site, with excellent pictures of ancient bison remains.
