The Legend of the Swift Runner

The swift runner was a Native American from the Cree tribe that lived in the western portion of Canada. He and his wife had six children, who is why the winter of 1878 will be remembered as a tragedy. According to him, a Wendigo spirit came into their camp during the winter,. It spoke to him and told him to eat his family. Swift Runner's wife was the first to die, then one of the younger boys. Then the creature moved on to his mother-in-law, and his own brother.
