Naming the West : Stories Siksika

Siksika Elder Story 2:

Now, the buffalo jump over there, they used to, your great grandparents go across, off the reserve in their wagons and collect all the bones from the buffalo. There were so many buffalo skulls and all that. So then they come to town in Gleichen on the ring road, and there was a special box cars for all the bones to sell in the ring road. And you may ask what were they using the bones for? They were using them to make white gunpowder during the war. That was a long time ago.
