There is a wood that outlasts concrete. Fence posts buried in 1850 still stand today. Modern pressure-treated lumber rots in 15 years. This wood remains perfect for a century without chemicals. And it fertilizes the soil as it grows.

Then we erased it. Not because it failed, because it succeeded too well. A material lasting forever cannot be sold every decade. A tree healing dead soil threatens the fertilizer industry. Wood needing no poison cannot generate chemical profits.

This is the hidden history of Black Locust, the rot-proof timber that built an empire and was buried to protect a market.

The pattern is familiar. Indigenous materials enabling sovereignty are systematically erased, not because they're inferior, but because they cannot be controlled.
