A cibolero (plural: ''ciboleros'') was a Spanish colonial (and later Mexican) buffalo hunter from New Mexico. The Spanish word for buffalo as used in New Mexico was ''cibolo''; hence, the name ''cibolero''〔 for buffalo hunter. ==Historical== Ciboleros hunted the American bison on the plains of what is now eastern New Mexico and Texas, in the areas approximately known as the Llano Estacado and Comancheria. Their domain ranged as far east and north as Nebraska. The Ciboleros would hunt buffalo typically in late Fall once the summer crops had been harvested. Many Ciboleros from New Mexico lived along or near the Pecos River from the villages of San José and Tecolote and south toward La Cuesta (now the town of Villanueva, New Mexico). Josiah Gregg gave this description of a cibolero he encountered: John Miller Morris explained the historical significance of the ciboleros: The cibolero way of life ended by the late 1870s with the destruction of the American bison.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Sibley Nature Center )〕 Ciboleros are still remembered in New Mexican folk songs, cultural events, and family oral traditions.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cibolero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
