buffalo pound
The buffalo pound was a hunting device constructed by native peoples of the North American plains for the purpose of entrapping and slaughtering American bison, also known as buffalo. It consisted of a circular corral at the terminus of a flared chute through which buffalo were herded and thereby trapped. David Mandelbaum's ''The Plains Cree'' contains diagrams and a complete description of the construction and use of such a pound.
In 1758, explorer and fur trader Joseph Smith was the first European to record the use of a buffalo pound while travelling to the Assiniboine River.
The common Cree name "Poundmaker", refers to someone who makes buffalo pounds.
