Native American Marker Tree?


Waxhaw, NC. 2025

 I've passed this tree many times on my walks and I've wondered if it is the result of human hands, or did it grow naturally this way.  One rarely sees such 'right angles' in nature, so it is a bit odd.  Native Americans would bend trees to serve as trail markers, however the last Native Americans left these areas, or merged with nearby tribes back in the 1700's.  Any marker trees made by them would have to be over 200 years old.  I doubt this tree is quite that old and grew this way naturally.
