Where the chill came from : Cree Windigo tales and journeys

Gathered and translated by Howard Norman.

'The Swampy Cree Indians of the Canadian subarctic face not only a cfold and forbidding environment, but also a powerful, malevolent antagonist with a heart of ice: the Windigo. Windigo is one of many spirit-beings who have wandered Cree territories since ancient times....a major figure in the rich oral tradition of the Cree Indians. Other figures--such as Wolverine, Otter, Porcupine, and Owl--unite with the Cree to defend each other when the Windigo makes its fearsome appearance....thirty-one tales of confrontation with Windigos.'
