They got the hooves and chopped them into small pieces then boiled them until and the hoof material has melted. what is made is then cooled and allowed to harden. Once melted, it is necessary to heat the glue substance until it is the required consistency - thin hoof glue can be used to stiffen fabrics, thicker glue is used in cabinetry

Indians ground up charcoal very finely till it was a powder, then mixed it with sap from the pine trees. It made good glue when it set.

The Indians made a glue from pine sap and charcoal. It apparently works quite well. They used dried, hollowed out gourds to make rattles.

What is the glue on pine trees?

The glue in pine trees is sap. This sap has been made into glue by native Indians for centuries. To make pine sap glue as the Indians and pioneers did, melt the pine sap in a small can or tin over a campfire. Leave room in the tin for some crushed charcoal (make this from the remains of yesterdays campfire) Mix crushed charcoal into about 3 times as much hot pine sap and you now have glue that will stick many things.) Even though the remains will harden, each time you melt them you will have usable glue again. -Good camping.
