In this eye-opening episode of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, we delve into one of the darkest chapters of American history—the mass slaughter of buffalo in the late 19th century and the shocking aftermath that followed. As the buffalo were hunted nearly to extinction for their hides, the plains became littered with their bones. These bones, along with the remains of Native Americans found on the plains, were collected and processed into bone black, a substance used in everyday products like sugar. The implications are chilling: could the sugar consumed by Americans during this period have been tainted with human remains?

Join us as we explore the gruesome realities of the bone trade and its impact on both the environment and Indigenous communities. We discuss how the commodification of buffalo and human bones alike reflects the profound disregard for life during this era of westward expansion. This episode not only examines the historical atrocities but also sheds light on the early conservation efforts that eventually led to the recovery of the buffalo, a species that once teetered on the brink of extinction.

This is a story of exploitation, survival, and redemption. The recovery of the buffalo stands as a testament to the power of conservation, but it also serves as a sobering reminder of the costs of progress and the importance of respecting both nature and human dignity. Tune in to learn about this grim piece of history and the lasting lessons it offers for the future.
