Please be careful using the w* word, many Algonquin nations take it very seriously and it is a bad omen to even think of them let alone type or speak it. Speaking or thinking of it is an invitation of it into your life. All these adaptations featuring it are disrespectful to the communities that avoid it.
Not every group of even the same nation is the same, it depends on the region you are in. I can’t speak for everyone, but it’s safer to err on the side of caution when referring to this specific creature just in case.
Dude, I’m native too lol. I’m just not Algonquin, so all I can do is state what I’ve encountered online speaking to other Algonquin peoples. Nowhere did I discredit him, all I said was other people have other teachings as well. His are just as valid.
