Some history is too dark to forget.

The first image, taken in 1892, shows a massive pile of buffalo skulls, part of a systematic effort to exterminate the species and weaken Native American tribes.

The second? A disturbing glimpse inside a 1900s mental institution, where patients were often restrained, abused, and forgotten by society.

These photos serve as chilling reminders of history’s cruelty—and the lessons we can never afford to ignore.
