What did the American Indians use for toilet paper before the Caucasians brought it to North America?

You are mistaken if you think “Caucasians brought it to North America”, the first commercially available toilet paper wasn’t invented until almost a century after Europeans arrived! (And they just used leaves, like everyone else!) Joseph C. Gayetty of New York started producing the first packaged toilet paper in the U.S. in 1857. It consisted of pre-moistened flat sheets medicated with aloe and was named “Gayetty’s Medicated Paper”. Gayetty’s name was printed on every sheet.
