This is my 54th episode and my theme of the month is Remember November. I am covering horror movies with representations of indigenous people. The film I'm covering today has an imperfect representation of the Wendigo legend from Algonquian cultures (notably Cree and Anishinaabe). The film takes place in 1847 during the Mexican American War and cannibalism is used as a metaphor for colonialism.
