I have a brilliant song by Eileen Mcgann, a Canadian singer who was at Whitby last year, called 'Windigo's Coming' The sleeve notes say that she based the song on a Cree elder's statement about the James Bay Hydro-electric dam project that has destroyed much of his people's traditional hunting grounds by massive flooding, road-building, and the subsequent poisoning of the waters with mercury and methane. The chorus likens the destruction to the coming of the Windigo -

The legend is told among the Cree of a giant who wanders - Windigo Heart of ice and breath like fire, enemy to all things living And we in the age of technology have conquered the night but not the darkness In the core of the city a yellow eye opens, Windigo's coming, Windigo
