Brink Jr., wishing WKDW,KDGWKHEHQHÀWRIKLVNHHQHGLWRULDOH\HWRZKLSWKLVERRNLQWRVKDSH v Imagining Head-Smashed-In Long ago, in the winter time, the buffalo suddenly disappeared. The snow was so deep that the people could not move in search of them, for in those days they had no horses … the people began to starve. One day, a young married man killed a jack-rabbit. He was so hungry that he ran home as fast as he could, and told one of his wives to hurry and get some water to cook it. While the young woman was going along the path to the river, she heard a beautiful song … The song seemed to come from a cotton-wood tree near the path. Looking closely at this tree she saw a queer rock jammed in a fork, where the tree was split, and with it a few hairs from a buffalo, which had rubbed there. The woman was frightened and dared not pass the tree. Pretty soon the singing stopped, and the I-nis-kim spoke to the woman and said: ‘Take me to your lodge, and when it is dark, call in the people and teach them the song you have just heard. Pray, too, that you may not starve, and that the buffalo may come back. Do this, and when day comes, your hearts will be glad.’ The woman … took the rock and gave it to her husband, telling him about the song and what the rock had said. As soon as it was dark, the man called the chiefs and old men to his lodge, and his wife taught them this song. They prayed, too, as the rock had said should be done. Before long, they heard a noise far off. It was the tramp of a great herd of buffalo coming. Then they knew that the rock was very powerful, and, ever since that, the people have taken care of it and prayed to it.

Although people had found objects from the old stone age, the dedicated inquiry that goes with the profession only appeared when universities and museums supported researchers. These curators and professors, such as Richard Forbis (1919–1999) and Marie Wormington (1914–1994), made their occupation the full WLPHVHDUFKIRUWUDFHVRIDQFLHQWSHRSOH7KDWÀUVWJHQHUDWLRQEURXJKW with them the methods of an observational science. Their immediate goal was to systematically excavate through the different strata and UHFRUGWKHLUÀQGLQJV7KHLUORQJWHUPREMHFWLYHZDVWRPDNHVHQVHRI the artifacts and features in order to understand the cultural history of the northern plains. Their motivation was to establish a chronol- ogy or devise a taxonomy from patterns in the material culture they unearthed. More importantly, they trained the students who would SLFNXSWKHWDVNRILQWHUSUHWLQJWKHDUFKDHRORJLFDOUHFRUGDQGÀQG WKHH[SODQDWLRQVWKDWÀWWKHGDWD From then to the present generation, the sites that persistently pique the imagination are the enigmatic buffalo jumps. Interpreting WKHDUFKDHRORJLFDOUHFRUGPD\VHHPOLNHWU\LQJWRÀQGDQVZHUVLQWKH entrails of a badger. However, archaeologists possess many meth- ods that help them understand the life and culture of people who in ancient times called the northern plains their home. The modern era LQDUFKDHRORJ\EHQHÀWVIURPEUHDNWKURXJKVLQRWKHUGLVFLSOLQHVEXW in return archaeologists contribute food for thought. Like many in this profession, Jack Brink feels fortunate that he can conduct research that continuously stokes the sense of wonder that makes his job worth- while. He also recognizes that there exists strong public interest in archaeological work and that we have a duty to report the results of our inquiries in an accessible manner. Thus he can inject his wry sense of humour into the text to illustrate a point he wants to make. When Jack began his studies in archaeology he was able to con- centrate on that topic at university. As a young student he learned his trade from his elder academics, but he was not content to merely absorb data. He has devoted his career to expanding the knowledge base he inherited from them. Of course the challenge for him was not just to look for answers, but also to look for questions. What re- mains to be done in northern plains archaeology? What questions x will preoccupy the current generation of archaeologists? You might well ask. Jack certainly has. He has picked up the task initiated by his intellectual predecessors and continues to look for insights amid the EXIIDORMXPSV7KHUHDGHUZLOOHDVLO\ÀQGWKHKXPDQLW\LQERWKWKH author and his subject. Nowhere is there a hint of the stereotypical researcher preoccupied with minutiae while ignoring the big picture around him. Curiosity and wonder drew Jack to the cliffs and crevices that ÀUHGKLVLPDJLQDWLRQ7KLVPHPRLURIKLVFRQWHPSODWLRQVDERXWWKH buffalo jumps, and other artifacts of ancient people, is a synthesis of his life’s work. Together with his knowledge he takes on the role of storyteller, relating the personal anecdotes that spiced up his research. He also poses challenges for the next generation. What research ques- tions will they formulate to imagine the northern plains in ancient times? How will they use the knowledge they gain? Well, that is up to them to determine, but at least they will have Jack Brink’s narrative to guide their thoughts. The vantage point from his perspective is similar to the expansive view of the plains from the edge of the precipice. His endeavours have FXOPLQDWHGZLWKWKLVLQVSLUHGYROXPH)URPKLVSHQÁRZVDTXL[RWLF tour through archaeology; with his own practical guide for imagining northern plains antiquity, including all the blood and guts. More than anything, Jack shows us yet again that buffalo do not jump; they have to be pushed!

For the most part I have ignored that advice. In the fol- lowing pages I have tried to make an ancient, dusty, nearly forgotten story come alive.

I wish to first thank Nick Toth, Kathy Schick, Kevin Hunt and Claudia Johnson. They not only generously sacrificed their time and energy as members of my committee but offered unfailing support, friendship and ideas throughout all stages of this research. Nick and Kathy provided a stimulating environment at CRAFT and the Stone Age Institute for which I will always be grateful. Nick‟s impromptu experiments and “what would happen if…” questions served as a constant reminder of what makes this field so fun and interesting. Kevin always stressed that research should focus on simple, straightforward questions, not only because they are the most easily tested but because they often provide the most influential results. I have tried to take that advice to heart in this dissertation. To Claudia I am particularly indebted to the support and enthusiasm she has offered at all stages of this project, even though it has had little to do with her own research.
