Cheyenne memories: The Buffalo Jump
Centuries of Buffalo Jump hunting documented
Thursday, December 10, 2020
The memories and oral history knowledge of John Stands In Timber, Northern Cheyenne tribal historian and elder, were captured in Cheyenne Memories, Margot Liberty, 1972. These memories painstakingly collected over the years are considered highly accurate.
One of the memories came from Stands In Timbers’ grandparents who told how they as children hunted buffalo in a “big hole” near present day Sundance, Wyoming. This could very well refer to the Vore Buffalo Jump (VBJ) which is near Sundance and between Devil’s Tower and the Black Hills, then a highly traveled route for many Plains Tribes, including the Northern Cheyenne. The VBJ, a historic and archaeological site documents that various Plains Tribes used this location and method of harvesting buffalo for about three centuries.
Recently, this writer was invited for a personal tour, meeting with Vore Foundation Board members Glenn Wyatt, Theodore “Ted” Vore, Dr. Richard Littlebear and Dr. Jacqueline Wyatt, Director.
