Oh, dude, they used a variety of methods like digging holes, using latrines, or even just going in the woods. They didn't have fancy toilets like we do now, so they had to get creative. But hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go, right?

native Americans had a very strong bond between anything that left their bodies. They would feel very connected to their "human waste" and would often times eat it again for fear of losing part of what made them who they were. this was also done with their blood and tears if they got a cut or if they started crying

What Did the Native Americans use Bones for?

The long bones of buffalo, elk, caribou, bear and deer are thick, dense and hard, providing excellent material for making long, narrow, pointed tools such as awls, hair pins, bodkins, engravers, needles and pins, as well as weaving tools (among certain native groups). Some projectile points and harpoons were made with complex barbed bone heads. Farming hoes and various scrapers were made from flat, wide bones such as buffalo shoulder blades. Bone chisels or levers were used to remove bark from trees; bear ulnas made effective chisels. Some bones, such as the hollow wing bones of golden eagles, made instruments like flutes and whistles. Shoulder blades with notches along the central spine made musical rasps.Various bones made fish hooks, gaming counters, arrow straighteners, and tools for shelling maize. On the Pacific coast, whale bones made tools, war clubs and jewellery. Among the Plains tribes, deer, horse or buffalo jaw bones made effective war clubs; other bones made necklaces, armlets, breastplates and hair ornaments. See links below for images:
