Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump was created in 1955.
Why is what called "Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo Jump?" You mean the actual cliff itself that is a World Heritage Site in Alberta? Well, it's because when the Blackfoot Indians drove buffalo off the cliff, the cliff was so tall that the buffaloes' heads would get literally smashed-in when they hit the bottom.
The 5 world heritage sites in Alberta are Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Wood Buffalo National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountain parks and Waterton Glacier International Peace Park.
Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump is located near the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada, and is basically a cliff that the Blackfoot Indians used as a means to hunt bison. According to the related link below, this World Heritage Site is "...at a place where the foothills of the Rocky Mountains meet the great plains, [and is] one of the world's oldest, largest and best preserved buffalo [jumps] known to exist."
It is the oldest, largest and best preserved buffalo jump known to exist in the world, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located outside of Fort Macleod in southern Alberta, Canada. It is a site preserved to commemorate the hunting activities of the Blackfoot Indians that lived in and around that area well before Alberta became a province, or even Canada became a country.

The first Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel was minted in Philadephia in the year 1913. The coin is actually called a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel, but not "buffalo head". After all, it shows the entire buffalo, not just its head :)
It's an Indian head nickel or a buffalo nickel, not "buffalo head" - the entire buffalo is shown, not just its head, LOL! See the Related Question for answers.
