buffalo hunt
Plains tribe tradition
A buffalo hunt is an organized expedition to kill bison, particularly associated with Native American hunting traditions and the 19th-century campaigns that nearly exterminated the North American bison.
The phrase evokes both indigenous subsistence hunting and the mass slaughter that followed European settlement.
The Lakota prepared for the summer buffalo hunt.
