A guide in the Archaeological Preserve uses a walking stick to show the outline of a carved buffalo (circled). The buffalo was a special part of the plains Indians culture providing both food and hides. This drawing also shows a beaver (upper right), another revered animal that played a major role in the creation story of the Blackfoot People. The pock marks are from target practice done by Mounties stationed at a post along the Milk River in the late 1800's
