This cannibal monster hunts during the coldest time of the year, traveling with the snow to terrorize humans with its insatiable hunger. Armed with sharp claws and teeth, and capable of running with incredible speed, the windigo, or wendigo, is a lesson in excess and a manifestation of the anxieties that emerge in the harsh realities of winter—and how to survive it.

Explore the symbolic interpretations of the windigo with Dr. Zarka as she explains how this Native American legend can teach us about the spiritual beliefs and social values of the early indigenous peoples of North America. #windigo #wendigo #cannibal #MonstrumPBS #wendigomovie #wendigoart
