Why isn't there a horror game with Native American folklore in it?

Saying this as a native american, I'm glad there isn't because you know it would be butchered

>>336413070

It would be 100% butchered. Hell, every time 4chan talks about skinwalkers they seem to have no idea what the hell the term means, conflating it with wendigos and other creatures from the folklore of various tribes, plus a hefty helping of random /x/ creepypasta that has no connection to folklore at all.

A skinwalker is basically a witch (though it can be any gender) who harasses and attacks humans by taking on various animal forms. It's largely a belief from tribes in the American southwest, specifically the Navajo.

Nigga it's what she looks according to aztec mythology like the fuck do you want

>She is represented as a woman wearing a skirt of writhing snakes and a necklace made of human hearts, hands, and skulls. Her feet and hands are adorned with claws and her breasts are depicted as hanging flaccid from pregnancy. Her face is formed by two facing serpents (after her head was cut off and the blood spurt forth from her neck in the form of two gigantic serpents),[1] referring to the myth that she was sacrificed during the beginning of the present creation.

It's hard to take inspiration from other cultures when many of them are so sensitive about "appropriation."

And before anyone says that it's just white people on tumblr who complain about that, I know specifically many Native American authors get extremely pissy about whites using Native American folklore in media.

>>
>>336418050

The super plague the settlers drove before them made such things entirely impossible. And I'm not talking about the smallpox blanket stuff. First contact triggered a massive wave of diseases that rolled inlands, decimating the native populations that had never even seen a white person. North America was a fucking post-apocalyptic environment by the time Europeans started really moving beyond the coasts.

What would have leaving the natives to their own land even accomplish? They were like 1500 years behind the Europeans in terms of technology, and I can guarantee that they would have been a useless waste of two continents should they have remained. A lot of them didn't even have written language, so it's not like their culture even had very much value from a humanist standpoint. I never understood feeling guilty about the whole "genocide" (even though the extreme majority of deaths were caused by diseases which the Europeans had no way of knowing about), does anyone really see letting them keep their land as an option? The only exceptions I might see to this were the larger group's like the Inca or Mayans that probably could have been treated like the Japanese were by the Americans in the 1800s.

An example:

In 1910 there was a woman, her name recorded as Marie Boucon, who was transported under armed guard to the Sisters of Providence at St. Henry's mission, in Fort Vermillion, Alberta.

Marie was thought to be becoming a wendigo. Her family was terrified of her, thinking she had homicidal urges. They requested a local police Sergeant, McLeod, help them transport her. It was a long trip through the sub-arctic forests in the dead of winter. They kept rifles trained on Marie for much of the trip.

At the mission Marie was accepted by the nuns as one of many lost souls; they cared for orphans, cripples, the homeless, and many others at the mission.

At first Marie was well behaved and everyone thought the fear of wendigos was ridiculous. But she displayed worrying signs. After the nuns destroyed an amulet she kept with her, she became highly agitated and angry. She compulsively drank large amounts of holy water, perhaps in an attempt to melt the ice she feared was growing around her heart; native cures for wendigo transformation often involve such steps. Most of the people there didn't speak her language, and she was convinced they were making fun of her when they spoke different tongues. She became withdrawn, sullen, and hostile.

Things escalated when Marie started getting into fights, slapping and hitting others. She tried to choke one nun. When she was confined to quarters, she attacked a woman who brought her food. She had fits of rage and of laughter. Soon the nuns called for sergeant McLeod again. They were certain Marie was seriously mentally ill, and requested she be taken to an asylum. They decided to trick her, telling her she was going to visit friends and family. When the ship to take her upriver arrived, Marie was furious at the deception, and departed raging at the nuns and calling them devils. No record of her fate survives.

The last entry in the mission's chronicle referencing her simply read "Marie, witiko."

The sad thing is that, if I were a programmer, I wouldn't have the research skills or understanding of native American societies to make a cool game about them.

Because that's what werewolves originally were: witches or sorcerers who turned into wolves so they could fuck over their neighbors by killing their livestock. The idea that werewolves are created by a curse is a modern addition, stemming from the early 20th century. A lot of the lore we take for granted with werewolves (changing due to the moon, silver vulnerability, curse spread by bite) is from Hollywood. In the original folklore, they were magic users in league with the devil.

So here's a little thing most people don't know about wendigos: they're supposed to be migratory. The spirits that create them were thought to come from a series of icy islands far in the northern seas, whose exact location was unknown. They were supposed to be so far north that they never thawed or be touched by spring. People who turned into wendigos were thought to head north after winter ended, presumably heading for these islands. Up there, the eldest wendigos may still linger. Given that wendigos were supposed to grow bigger the more they ate (so they'd never be full) the elder wendigos could potentially be enormous.

This sets up the possibility of a wendigo apocalypse setting.

As climate change heats up the arctic, the Wendigo Isles, wherever they are up there, will start to thaw. Now, if global warming wakes the wendigos up, it'll still be a problem for them. They're very climate oriented, hunting in the winter and then retreating to their islands for the rest of the year; they don't like warm temperatures. So a lot of people would be safe if they just moved further south. Still, while climate change is warming the world overall, it's also leading to more intense winter storms and colder temperatures during the regular winter duration, even in areas that didn't used to see snow regularly. If the shutdown of thermohaline circulation happens, the North Atlantic regions could get much colder. So the traditional wendigo territory (northern Canada, down to the Great Lakes) might expand some. That’d bad news for Britain and New England.

But outside of regions that stay cold enough, people would be free to arm and recover during the warmer months. So the wendigos would find barricades and flamethrowers waiting for them each winter. Of course, wendigos are both smarter and much more powerful than zombies, so they may be able to find ways around those defenses. They're also, in some ways, much harder to kill; you not only need to set them on fire, you need to prevent them from putting themselves out. And if, heaven forbid, one of the big wendigos comes south? Your barricade would be fucked.

I’m betting the elder wendigos, the really big ones, wouldn’t go too far south. They’d settle in northern Russia, Kamchatka, Svalbard, Alaska, the Northern Territories. I’m also guessing that waking up them means waking up all the wendigo spirits, who were probably floating around the wendigo isles in the spirit world. So during winter you’ll have to deal with them trying to enter people’s dreams and create more wendigos.

I always see a bunch of different depictions of Wendigos. Sometimes it's an emaciated person with sharp teeth, sometimes it's a deer standing on hind legs with a rotting skull and exposed ribcage, sometimes it's just like an ogre or something.

What did the original stories of them say they looked like?

I remember reading some comic years ago (I'm pretty sure it was here too) about some helicopter crash in some snowy forest, where one of the survivors was being hounded by this creature. I think it had no feet and just floated or something, and eventually the dude was driven to eating the bodies of the crash victims, turning into another of the creature himself.

I'm pretty positive it was a wendigo, or at the very least Native American themed, but every search I've done since then has turned up jack shit. This seems to be the most appropriate thread to ask, but does anyone know the comic?

Seriously emaciated humans, as if in the late stages of starvation, with grayish or sallow skin. In their endless hunger, they often chew away parts of their lips and shoulders, and sometimes a few of their own fingers and toes. They have hearts of solid ice, are followed by blizzards, and every time they eat their body grows in proportion, so that their stomachs are never full. They range, generally, from regular human height to 30+ feet tall. Despite their great height, though, they are still thin and emaciated, with long stick-like limbs. They can be mistaken for trees if they are standing in a forest. The antlers/deer head are a modern addition that seems to have originated in the 2001 movie "Wendigo".

The Hecesiiteihii, AKA the Nimerigar, AKA the Cannibal Dwarves of the Rocky Mountains, were thought to be superhumanly strong despite their size and had magical powers, such as the ability to turn invisible, move at superhuman speeds, and in some versions the ability to fly. They were extraordinarily aggressive and attacked numerous tribes on the Great Plains both because they ate humans for food and because they believed, Viking style, that they had to be killed in battle to reach the afterlife. Eventually the Arapaho, Shoshone, and other plains tribes formed a massive alliance and drove the dwarves back into the mountains, exterminating them.

What weapons would it be wisest to use in a Wendigo Apocalypse setting? Flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails, naturally, but those are only going to be useful against the human size or slightly larger wendigos. The 30ft+ ones are going to be a lot harder to deal with. A shotgun would also be useful for knocking the smaller ones on their asses, but they'll always recover from bullet wounds.

Plus, they're not dumb. You can't just set them on fire, they'll run off and roll in a snowbank. You have to light them up and keep the heat on until you've melted their ice-hearts.

I once read up on the shamanic methods for dealing with wendigos. They... aren't ideal. They mainly involve getting close to the wendigo and then banishing the spirit possessing it... but this doesn't kill the wendigo instantly, and you're still standing there next to it.
