Canada's folklore is rich with tales from its indigenous peoples, French settlers, and later European immigrants. One of the most enduring legends is that of the "Wendigo," a malevolent spirit or creature said to haunt the northern forests, possessing those who resort to cannibalism. This terrifying being is a symbol of the harsh and unforgiving winters of the Canadian wilderness. In contrast, the gentle "Nanabozho," a trickster figure in Anishinaabe mythology, is credited with shaping the earth and teaching humans vital survival skills. Canadian literature features iconic characters like Anne Shirley from "Anne of Green Gables," a spirited orphan girl whose adventures on Prince Edward Island have captivated readers worldwide. These stories, deeply rooted in the land and its history, reflect Canada's diverse cultural heritage.
