[PW] Wendigo in Minnesota

[Sam Friedman]

Hello,

I've been reading the thread for about a month now, and I'd like to take a
stab at posing a question.

I'm an MLIS student and I've been practicing my information search
techniques, but I'm stumped when it comes to this one.  I got this in an
email from a friend and I haven't been able to find much information, other
than recalling there was a book I read titled "Shadows in the Asylum" that
featured some passing mention of Wendigo and islands in Wisconsin.

The Question:
Where is the island that is supposed to be the dead body of the Windigo? I
remember being told the story in both my Ojibwa and Dakota classes when I
went to Anderson Elementary, but I can't recall the name of the island nor
can I find the tale. If anyone has a knowledge of the story of the 'Windigo
and Big Foot' please enlighten me.
