No, that would be a waste of a valuable commodity.

Native Americans knew that to tan the hide of any animal, its own brain was exactly the right substance to use, and the correct quantity - brain contains an oil which softens and preserves leather. Buffalo hides were always needed for bedding, for moccasins, for winter robes and for tipi covers, so the brains of the animals were always needed for the tanning process.
