The Wendigo (or Windigo or Witiko among other spellings) is a creation of Native American folklore that represents the gluttony and greed of those who do not care for their fellow man. In Western media, however, they are a scary deer creature. In this video, I will be looking at how Wendigos are portrayed across three indie games, and in doing so will explore how Native American beliefs and culture are represented at large.

Cryptids are scary things. Humans can be a little scarier.
