This section highlights the extensive research that uncovered the rich historical information embedded within these trails. These trails, mostly unknown to modern-day researchers, hold a treasure trove of historical significance. One trail, in particular, was entirely unknown until now.

The history of Native people after European contact is relatively well-documented. However, the information is scattered across many sources, written by numerous authors. It takes years of dedicated reading and research across diverse forms and locations to gather and connect this information.

Researching pre-written history requires a unique approach. The clues are often artifacts or remnants unintentionally left behind, not originally meant for historical documentation.

By conducting intensive research, I discovered these trails, proving them to be a historical treasure trove. In my region, the prevailing belief was that there was nothing significant to research in this area, merely pathways people walked through. My findings challenge that notion and pave the way for specialists to explore further and uncover even more.
