Legends
The Wendigo
The wendigo is a supernatural, evil and cannibalistic creature, descended from the mythology of the Algonquian First Nations of Canada, which has spread throughout North American folklore. This legend is shared by several Native American nations and may refer to the physical transformation of a human after consuming human meat as a spiritual possession. Wendigo has also reinforced the taboo around the practice of cannibalism among these peoples. Wendigowak (wendigos) live in the depths of the forest and appear in tales where the supernatural meets inhuman and atrocious things.
