Head-Smashed-In is a provincial park near Fort McLeod, Alberta. It's a buffalo jump where First Nation peoples for thousands of years stampeded the North American bison off a cliff. You may have the impression, from pictures like this, that native Americans hunted buffalo from horseback. So they did, after the Spaniards introduced domestic horses to North America in about 1500.In the centuries before the spread of horses northwards across the Great Plains, First Nations peoples hunted buffalo on foot, and they developed the Buffalo Jump all across the plains as an effective way to harvest the meat and hides of the North American bison.Here's an idea. Why not use the same tactics if you are a subject people without the financial or cultural power to deploy your own smash-mouth politicians and activists? Choose your moment and then stampede your opponents over a political cliff.
Just have to find the right prod.
