is there a folklore overlap with the scandinavian werefolf, Dinee and Algonquin folklore (Wendigo/witigo and the Skinwalker)
Hello there everyone so I've been a folklore nerd for a good bit and after trying to do a deep dive into first nations folklore and specifcally the witigo spirit and how it was described I could not help but notice some major overlaps with Algonquin and Dinee folklore with the idea of a ulveham wolf skin being needed for a transformation alongside the taboos of murder and cannibalism. I can't help but see some similarities with the above mentioned first nations folkelore beings. So I want to hear what people who are alot more learned than me think, am I grasping at straws?
