Paintings in the sky

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Centre was the site early August of uniquely artistic kites. The Flying Buffalo Project featured kites made of canvases painted by 12 First Nations artists in Canada and the United States. Organized by SkyWindWorld, the Flying Buffalo Project is visiting numerous North American sites in its quest to highlight the historical importance of the buffalo and First Nations art. Organizers plan to see another dozen artists’ work take to the skies in 2014. Special activities continue at Head-Smashed-In with the site hosting Buffalo Harvest Days from Sept. 27-29.
