UNESCO Canada

An archaeologist in Canada sent me this wonderful card showing the new United Nations heritage site of Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. The card has been issued by the Canadian Postal Service and Laura was so kind to special order it for me! Before horses became available First Nations hunters strategically moved bison herds close to cliffs and frightened them to jump off; many of these sites have very thick bone beds showing years of use.
