New conclusions!

1-What if the Wendigo didn't exist. People in old times saw what was actually the Yeti, it's habits and stuff. Later, in another place, the same creature was seen. These people didn't know it's name, and myths were invented about the monster, and that's where the people called it Wendigo. As for the "cannibalism taboo", they didn't want to have any similarities to something like that, and much less become that.

In other words, Wendigo=Different name for the Yeti. It's like calling a god a deity.

2-They both exists, but are different sub-species of the same species.
