Nanaboojoo and the Wendigo

Nanaboojoo is a spirit, and figures prominently in their storytelling, including the story of the world's creation. Nanabozho is the Ojibwe trickster figure and culture hero who faces an evil man-eating spirit of Potawatomi and Anishinabe legend. Windigos play the roles of monsters and bogeymen in some legends; in others, Potawatomi people who commit sins (especially selfishness, gluttony, or cannibalism) are turned into a Windigo as punishment. It is pronounced ween-dih-goh.
