05.07: Dangerous Spirits: The Windigo in Myth and History

2015-04-15 00:04:31| Powells Books Events Calendar

In the traditional Algonquian world, the Windigo is the spirit of selfishness, which can transform a person into a murderous cannibal. Drawing on oral narratives, trial records, missionary accounts, and anthropologists' field notes, Shawn Smallman's Dangerous Spirits (Heritage House) offers a glimpse into indigenous beliefs, cross-cultural communication, and embryonic colonial relationships.
