Trails in eastern North America used by Native Americans
Tennessee Historical Commission marker at the north end of McSween Memorial Bridge (US-321) in Newport, Tennessee. The sign recalls the location of War Ford, 0.2 miles to the east along the Pigeon River. The ford was an important crossing along the Great Indian Warpath.
The Great Indian Warpath (GIW)—also known as the Great Indian War and Trading Path, or the Seneca Trail—was that part of the network of trails in eastern North America developed and used by Native Americans which ran through the Great Appalachian Valley. The system of footpaths (the Warpath branched off in several places onto alternate routes and over time shifted westward in some regions) extended from what is now upper New York to deep within Alabama. Various Native peoples traded and made war along the trails, including the Catawba, numerous Algonquian tribes, the Cherokee, and the Iroquois Confederacy. The British traders' name for the route was derived from combining its name among the northeastern Algonquian tribes, Mishimayagat or "Great Trail", with that of the Shawnee and Delaware, Athawominee or "Path where they go armed".[citation needed]
