“…As integral parts of a “usable past” (Stump, 2013), trails continue to serve as essential venues for community knowledge transmission and land‐based healing. Trails, like other heritage, are not consigned to a stagnant past, but continue to be valued and used as transformative spaces where futurities are dreamt up and (re)emerge (Deyo et al., 2014).…”

“…Despite their extraordinary historical and cultural significance, Indigenous travel networks have been and are being subsumed by industrial infrastructures across North America and elsewhere. The use and prevalence of trails are less common today, but are no less important in affirming, reclaiming, and maintaining Indigenous connections and commitments to one another, to health and quality of life, and to land‐based lifeways (Deyo et al., 2014).…”

Despite their unmistakable significance in regional histories and unique roles in cultural transmission and traditions, Indigenous trail systems are frequently ignored in non-Indigenous heritage resource management regimes. These regulatory regimes often require that heritage have discrete spatial and temporal boundaries and predefined material attributes and functions. However, as landscape-scale connectors of peoples, places, and times that blend spiritual, economic, and educational functions, trails challenge these proscriptions. Trails eschew cost-effective identification, documentation, and conservation. Accordingly, and because trails cannot be adequately documented without the expertise of people whose lands and communities they serve, archaeologists tasked with identifying heritage in advance of resource extraction and land alteration projects often omit trails from assessments. Shortcomings in heritage conservation regimes in British Columbia and elsewhere are resulting in the obliteration of Indigenous trails at precisely the time they are needed to support the revitalization of Territory-Community relationships at the core of Indigeneity. We address this tragedy by integrating archaeology, ethnography, remote sensing, and collaborative fieldwork to document trails in Wet'suwet'en and Gitxsan Territories. This enables protection in heritage management contexts and renewed and expanded trail use in intergenerational and intercultural contexts in support of Indigenous community futurity, survivance, and shared senses of community, geography, and stewardship.

“…They combine sports activities with the value of nature and with the heritage of an area, thus, having a high symbolic value for these paths [28]. They also contribute to the protection and continuation of the cultural heritage of the region [29]. While hiking on the trails, the public has the opportunity to come into contact with wildlife through recreational observation [30].…”

In recent decades, large sections of trail paths throughout Greece have been maintained, revived, and marked, creating a wide network with a total length of approximately 3500 km. The trail paths are one of the main levers of tourism development as they contribute to the preservation, protection, and promotion of the countryside, cultural heritage, and tradition, to the more effective protection and management of areas of exceptional natural beauty and sensitive ecosystems with wildlife. This paper investigates the view of the citizens of the regional unit of Evros, Greece, on the contribution of the trail paths to the protection and promotion of the cultural and natural environment. The research was conducted with the use of a structured questionnaire and through personal interviews. The data were collected and analyzed with the use of descriptive statistical methods as well as multivariate analysis techniques. The results of the research show that the attitudes of citizens to the contribution of paths in the protection and promotion of the cultural and natural environment are directly or indirectly influenced by various factors. In particular, age directly affects the view of citizens towards the trail paths, with the younger ones having more positive views. Other important predictors of citizens’ views were the type of activity in the trail path, with citizens using them for leisure activities or using the easy roots having more positive views towards them.

“…На общеевропейском уровне пешеходные и велосипедные маршруты и тропы стали известными туристическими продуктами в трансграничных контекстах [3]. Ряд исследователей, изучая состояние троп на землях американских индейцев в США и их вклад в качество жизни в стране индейцев, отмечают, что тропы [2] помогают укрепить и сохранить культурную самобытность и природное наследие [4], непосредственно решают некоторые из наиболее распространенных социальных проблем, с которыми сталкиваются общины американских индейцев, и стимулируют создание конструктивных партнерских отношений с отдельными лицами [3].…”
