My favourite track from the new @Leslie Fish album, Angel with a Sword:

Leslie indicates in the album notes that this song grew from a real experience relayed to her by Mary Frohman.

Some history of the Ojibwa people here:

The Ojibwe/Ojibwa are also called Chippewa (possibly a bad anglicization), which is liable to be confused with the Chipewyan:

Métis is the name given to people originally born without a tribe (as Ojibwe born to a European father were. as tribal/clan affiliation came through the father).

Leslie features in this short documentary about Sci-fi:

As Leslie alludes to in the lyrics, possibly the Western understanding of the Wendigo is overly simplistic:
