What organ of a buffalo did Plains Indians use to make an arrowhead?
Some Plains arrow points were made of antelope, elk or buffalo bone (not from animal organs), attached with sinew taken from a buffalo's legs or spine. Bone points do not survive as well as those of metal or stone so there are only a few in museums today. As soon as white traders arrived, natives quickly obtained ready-made metal points as well as thin sheet metal and tools for making their own. Stone and bone points became obsolete at that instant. Jim Hamm in his book "Bows and Arrows of the Native Americans" states that he has seen bone points made by Kiowas on the southern Plains, plus a few from the northern Plains, but they are today quite rare. His experiments show that antelope leg bones make sharper bone points than either buffalo or deer - heating the point allows it to take a sharper edge as well as hardening it.
