The authors of this book do take these cannibalistic denizens of the "northern woods" seriously indeed, carefully combing the historical record for accounts of their appearances and disappearances. The text is not only illustrated, it is written with care and also in a lively manner, so it will appeal to general readers with a taste for thrills and chills as well as students interested in Native subjects and Canadian themes. -- John Robert Colombo, author or editor of Windigo (1982), Mysterious Canada (1988), The Mystery of the Shaking Tent (1993), etc. 500 $a Dedication: This book is dedicated to all who lost their lives at the hands of the wendigo -- whether through a monstrous attack of the body or mind. 505 $a Unthawing a legend -- Land of the Wendigo -- Wendigo metamorphosis: going Wendigo -- Territory of terror: Alberta, Canada -- Cannibalistic chaos: the gruesome tale of Swift Runner -- The last Wendigo hunter: the life and death of Jack Fiddler -- Hatchets, tallow, and ice: surviving Lake Windigo -- The omen of death is coming: the Wendigo of Ross, Minnesota -- A battle of sanity and soul: Windigo Psychosis and the broader psychology surrounding belief in the Wendigo -- Curing the Wendigo Curse -- Melting hearts of ice: how to kill a Wendigo -- The modern man-eater: the Wendigo legend today -- Cannibal counterparts: similar creatures of the Northwoods. 520 $a "No other legend invoked as much fear, panic, and dread as the Wendigo. For hundreds of years people in Canada and the United States have told stories of a giant cannibalistic monster that could devour an entire community- or worse yet, possess you and turn you into a Wendigo. Almost everything that has previously been written about the Wendigo comes from an anthropological or sociological perspective, often failing to even address the supernatural component of the lore. Not this book! The result is one of the most comprehensive explorations of the Wendigo legend ever written. While not for the faint of heart, Wendigo Lore is a treasure trove of information for those seeking to learn more about this unique legend of the Northwoods."--Amazon.com. 541 $d 20220810. 650 $a Wendigo $v Folklore. 650 $a Cannibalism $v Folklore. 650 $a Psychoses. 650 $a Legends $z United States. 650 1 $a Folklore $x First Nations. 650 1 $a Folklore $x Canadian. 650 1 $a Folklore $x Indigenous peoples. 650 14 $a Great Lakes (North America.) 650 6 $a Cannibalisme $v Folklore. 650 6 $a Légendes. 650 7 $a Cannibalism. 650 7 $a Legends. 650 7 $a Psychoses. 651 $a Isle Royale $z Wisconsin. 651 $a Northwoods $z Wisconsin. 651 6 $a Grands Lacs (Amérique du Nord.) 651 7 $a Great Lakes. 651 7 $a Wisconsin. 655 7 $a Folklore. 700 $a Nelson, Kevin Lee,. 941 $a 1 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20221203071950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99D5F8B672D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
