Until Dawn's Wendigos were cannibals and possessed by previous Wendigo spirits. That's the whole story of it - you find out that one of the missing sisters was trapped in the mines and ate her twin's corpse, turning into a Wendigo herself. She never died or got reanimated.

And there's a few more Wendigoes running around the mountainside as well that the old guy has been trying to keep locked away through use of fire and traps, and they are actually what caused Hannah and Beth to be spooked and fall off the cliff in the first place. The 'death' of Hannah that you see at the very beginning was a red herring - only Beth actually died.

And there's a secret ending you can get where Josh is dragged off into the mines as well and turns into a Wendigo through cannibalism. You get an after credits scene where police officers are going through the mines and find him half-turned. Not dead or reanimated at all.
