Review & FAQ:

First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park is a state park and National Historic Landmark near the city of Great Falls in Cascade County. The 1,481-acre park is home to the Ulm Pishkun, or Ulm Buffalo Jump, an ancient buffalo jump (a cliffy area where Native Americans historically used to hunt and kill plains bison in mass quantities) used by many different Native American tribes. First People's Buffalo Jump is one of only three protected buffalo jumps in the state and is the world’s largest buffalo jump. The park features a visitor's center which has displays that describe how buffalo hunts were organized, and a small gallery displaying archeological treasures from the site, including a family of stuffed bison, and a life-size buffalo-hide tipi.
