At the place known as Head-Smashed-In in southwestern Alberta, Indigenous people practiced a form of group hunting for nearly 6,000 years before European contact. Author Jack Brink, who devoted 25 years of his career to “The Jump,” has chronicled the cunning, danger, and triumph in the mass buffalo hunts and the culture they supported.
