Advice From a native American shaman with dealing with Skinwalkers: There have been quite a few contributors to your channel who have traveled through or lived on ancestral Native American lands. Many have encountered entities that they assume are wendigo or skinwalkers. Most people don't have enough information on either of those things to distinguish them from anything else they could encounter. There are more things in the Americas than skinwalkers and wendigo. But the most two famous things are usually what people hear about. Most of the time what people encounter are protective entities set in place by tribes that once lived there. Or things more ancient than the tribes. Most of the time people who encounter them are likely to sage smudge or go to their European ways of defeating these things. Both work for a while, but the entities return. The best way to stop the entities of native lands from causing harm or fear is to make peace. Not war. Plant a tree on the land in their honor. If the tree grows from the seed, they've accepted the peace offering. Remember that the land you live on is permeated with the will of those who walked before you. That making war with the land is harder than making peace. Set aside a place on the land to honor those who walked there before you, both native and those from other lands who may have walked there. Give that place respect and keep it reserved for them. And they will respect your homes. The beings of the wilds are more complicated, and often people consider something that scares them to be evil. The things encountered in the wild are of the wild, and they would not venture into human homes. When you venture into theirs, should you encounter them, think of them as a homeowner in whose cabin you ask to stay the night. You're the guest. Consider yourself a guest, and don't overstep your bounds. Many of the entities to be encountered in North America have their own ways, but the best way to encounter anyone or anything is with respect and courtesy.
