question: Warriors' Path State Park is named for a network of trails in eastern North America that was used by Native Americans who ran through where?
answer: Great Appalachian Valley
context: Title: Dirca
  Passage: Dirca is a genus of three or four species of flowering plants in the family Thymelaeaceae, native to North America.  The genus is named after Dirce in Greek mythology.  The general common name for this deciduous shrub is leatherwood; other names include moosewood, ropebark and Powhatan-derived wicopy.  The stems of "Dirca" are exceptionally pliable and the bark is difficult to tear by hand; for this reason, its stems were used by Native Americans in eastern North America as thongs or ropes.  Members of the genus can grow to a maximum height of about three meters, and are often associated with rich, moist woods or slopes above creeks or streams.
  Title: Trading Path
  Passage: The Trading Path (a.k.a. Occaneechi Path, The Path to the Catawba, the Catawba Road, Indian Trading Path, Unicoi Turnpike, Warriors' Path, etc.) is not simply one wide path, as many named historic roads were or are.  It was a corridor of roads and trails between the Chesapeake Bay region (mainly the Petersburg, Virginia area) and the Cherokee, Catawba, and other Native-American groups in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.  Indians had used and maintained much of the path for their expansive trading network for centuries prior to its use by Europeans and/or European-Americans.  Indian and later European/European-American settlements occupied key points along the path.  That section of the Trading Path through the Carolina piedmont was also known as the Upper Road, and a portion between North Carolina and Georgia was called the Lower Cherokee Traders Path.

  Title: Terry Wentz
  Passage: Terry Wentz was a Pennsylvania State Parks Manager who served with the state for 34 years at four locations throughout South Central, Pennsylvania including Canoe Creek State Park, Trough Creek State Park, and Warriors Path State Park.  He is most noted for his work in progressive management and environmental education.  He founded Waxwing Associates, an Eco-tourism company that also provided wildlife management consulting and grant writing services.  Terry Wentz is noted for his work with the largest little brown bat colony east of the Mississippi River, which is located in an abandoned church at Canoe Creek State Park.  His conservation efforts have also resulted in further protections for the endangered Indiana Bats which reside in Canoe Creek State Park in an abandoned mine.  Terry Wentz is noted as one of the founding members of Rails To Trails of Central Pennsylvania.  His efforts in acquiring grants for land helped to establish the Lower Trail.  He also served time in Vietnam as a Dog Handler for the United States Army assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division.

He helped develop a benefit horse ride trail for Dreams Go On, and organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding sessions to adults and children who are physically challenged, receive mental health, behavioral health or family therapy services.
  Title: Sauk Trail
  Passage: The Sauk Trail began as a Native American trail running through Illinois, Indiana and Michigan in the United States.  From west to east, the trail ran from Rock Island on the Mississippi River to the Illinois River near modern Peru then along the north bank of that river to Joliet, and on to Valparaiso, Indiana.  Then it ran northeasterly to La Porte and into southern Michigan running through Niles, Three Rivers, Ypsilanti, and ending at the Detroit River near Detroit.  There is a suggestion that sections of the trail followed the southern boundary between the dense forest and the mixed grassland regions.  The presence of a mastodon trailway along the same path indicates that the Native Americans may have been using a long established game trail.  Henry Schoolcraft, at present-day Michigan City, Indiana, in 1820, describes the trail, as a "plain horse path, which is considerably traveled by traders, hunters, and others..." and said that a stranger could not follow it without the services of a guide because of the numerous side trails.  The Sauk Trail intersected many important trails and early roads including the trails to Vincennes, to Green Bay, to Fort Wayne and to Little Traverse Bay.
  Title: Great Trail
  Passage: The Great Trail (also called the Great Path) was a network of footpaths created by Algonquian and Iroquoian-speaking indigenous peoples prior to the arrival of European colonists in North America.  It connected the areas of New England and eastern Canada, and the mid-Atlantic regions to each other and to the Great Lakes region.  Many major highways in the Northeastern United States were later constructed to follow the routes established thousands of years ago by Native Americans moving along these trails.
  Title: Warriors' Path State Park
  Passage: Warriors' Path State Park is a 950 acre (3.84 km²) Tennessee State Park in Colonial Heights, Kingsport, Sullivan County, Tennessee, in the United States.  It is named for the Great Indian Warpath that was used by the Iroquois in war raids with the Cherokee and other tribes.  The park is located around the Fort Patrick Henry Reservoir and Duck Island on the South Fork Holston River.  This land was acquired from the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1952.
  Title: Great Indian Warpath
  Passage: 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 state to deep within Alabama.  Various Indians 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".
  Title: Indian removal
  Passage: Indian removal was a policy of the United States government in the 19th century whereby Native Americans were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River, thereafter known as Indian Territory.  In a matter that remains one of debate by scholars, description of the policy—which clearly contributed to devastation in numbers, freedom and prosperity for those displaced—is sometimes elevated to being one of long-term genocide of Native Americans, in any case, a consequence of actions first by European settlers to North America in the colonial period, then by the United States government and its citizens until the mid-20th century.  The policy traced its direct origins to the administration of James Monroe, though it addressed conflicts between European Americans and Native Americans that had been occurring since the 17th century, and were escalating into the early 19th century as white settlers were continually pushing westward.  The Indian Removal Act was the key law that forced the removal of the Indians, and was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830.
  Title: Silver Falls State Park
  Passage: Silver Falls State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Oregon, located near Silverton, about 20 mi east-southeast of Salem.  It is the largest state park in Oregon with an area of more than 9000 acre , and it includes more than 24 mi of walking trails, 14 mi of horse trails, and a 4 mi bike path.  Its 8.7 mi Canyon Trail/Trail of Ten Falls runs along the banks of Silver Creek and by ten waterfalls, from which the park received its name.  Four of the ten falls have an amphitheater-like surrounding that allows the trail to pass behind the flow of the falls.  The Silver Falls State Park Concession Building Area and the Silver Creek Youth Camp-Silver Falls State Park are separately listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
