"I cannot say where the information from this page came from but I understand that there is much diverse literature on the wendigo.

There are many conflicting myths associated with it. This could be due to mixing it up with the following creatures:
Skinwalkers
The spirit of lonely places (Also called Wendigo)
Misabes (Shapeshifters who's only purpose is to fight a wendigo)

If you want to research this, then googling 'wendigo' or any of the above names should get you the information. Failing that, there are some books that cover parts of the wendigo legend very well."
