Legends Of The National Parks: Wendigo Haunting
Just when you thought the woods couldn’t be more spooky, Anderson Design Group collaborating artist Arden von Haeger launched himself on the mission of depicting mythical creatures of the national parks in nature settings across the country! As the legend has it, the Wendigo was once a man, roaming the forest looking for deer. But driven mad by his hunger, the hunter resorted to cannibalism, which turned him into a gruesome beast. The creature is a legend of Indigenous Algonquin and Ojibwa folklore. Some Indigenous historians believe that the Wendigo was once a symbol for the White man's greed, land theft, and violence against Indigenous peoples. Some believe that Indigenous elders began telling the tale of the Wendigo to their children to discourage them from pursuing a life of greed and self-interest. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, or as a notecard or postcard, with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, and metal signs. To learn more about this creature and so many others, check out this authoritative resource of spooky creatures and legends, Cryptids Fandom.
