It seems the brains would have been used to perserve hides, not eaten. At
least that is what Natives in the plains did with buffalo brains.

Wild meat, especially the wild meat of years ago (less poisoned) had a
proper omega-3:omega-6 ratio. That is, it was not omega-3 deficient as is
the meat we raise today. It seems supplementation would be unnecessary. (?)

I hear that yellowjackets make a delicious soup.

I vote for organ meats, especially brains.  They would have been
the most readily available source.  Some leafy greens, such as
purslane, have good omega rations, but the absolute amounts are
very small indeed.
