Staff interpreter Alex Rose poses with a buffalo stomach on Friday, Sept. 4, 2009, which is one of several tools he'll be using during his presentation 'Of Man and Best: Native Americans and the Buffalo' this Sunday at the National Historic Trails Center in Caper, Wyo. Native Americans would use the buffalo stomach as a bucket, and they would also stuff it with meat and cook it over a fire. (AP Photo/Dan Cepeda, Casper Star-Tribune)
