In case there are some confused folks, because it's a popular creature now:
The W*ndigo is a Native American legend built on real truth. I grew up near the Nation's that it originated from.

If you are fascinated with the depiction/ inspired by it, please get creative and give it a different, spooky name. If you want help, I would gladly help you name your monster something haunting!
This is something VERY REAL to a REAL GROUP of people.
Please don't mess with it.

Thank you guys for your interest and curiosity! My only goal was to educate about respect.
I'm muting this tweet because it's getting out of hand.
Remember to treat each other the way you wish yourself to be treated! Love and respect one another's cultures.
