PC: Native American's Domesticate Buffalo?

Is there any possibility that the Native Americans could have (before the arrival of Europeans anyways) domesticated the buffalo? From what I understand, they've been domesticated now in some places, so I'm curious if it could have been possible for the Natives of America to do so in the past.
 
Probably not. "Taming" and "domestication" are two very different things. Pigs have been domesticated, Asian Elephants have not. If you put the POD waaaaay back, and gave the natives a foundation of agriculture and other domesticated animals, then there might be a chance of it occurring.
 
Nowadays, we can put bison behind concrete and steel fences that they can't jump over, chase them with trucks when they try to run, and tranquilize them when they get unruly. This helps overcome some of their behavioral problems that stand in the way of domestication: their habit of migrating very far distances very fast, of jumping over any obstacle used to contain them, and their habit of splitting into sex segregated herds.

Without access to modern technology, the effort to domesticate bison just isn't worth it for stone age farmers. You'd have to have some major changes to the bison's behavior to make it worth the effort of domesticating.
