Syringes were originally made from an animal bladder holding some sort of medicine, and hollow bird bones to inject the medicine. Syringes ended up later being invented in Europe in 1850, but native people had been using them before that.

Rubber was first discovered by the Native Americans. However, after the Europeans came to America, they took the product, claimed it as theirs, and developed it into material which they then started selling for profit. All the while, the ones who discovered it were never given any credit. Rubber is widely used today, from rubber bands to the tires on cars.
