- Trail_trees abstract "Trail trees or trail marker trees are hardwood trees throughout North America that Native Americans intentionally shaped with distinctive characteristics that convey that the tree was shaped by man rather than deformed by nature or disease. One unique characteristic of the trail marker tree is a horizontal bend several feet off the ground, which makes it visible at greater distances, even in snow. Native Americans were hunter-gatherers. They would constantly look for horizontal shapes in the forest that resembled wild game.[citation needed] Even today, modern hunters look for horizontal shapes while hunting deer, elk and moose.[citation needed] A Dr. Janssen noted in 1941: "Among the many crooked trees encountered, only a few are Indian trail markers. The casual observer often experiences difficulty in distinguishing between accidentally deformed trees and those [...] purposely bent by the Indians. Deformities may occur in many ways. A large tree may fall upon a sapling, pinning it down for a sufficient length of time to establish a permanent bend. Lightning may split a trunk, causing a portion to fall or lean in such a way as to resemble an Indian marker. Wind, sleet snow or depredations by animals may cause accidental deformities in trees. However, such injuries leave scars which are apparent to the careful observer, and these may serve in distinguishing such trees from Indian trail markers." These distinctively shaped trees have been photographed and documented in the Great Lakes Region by scientists and historians since the early 1800s.".
