According to Algonquian folklore, how does one transform into a Wendigo?

According to Algonquian folklore, an individual can transform into a Wendigo by participating in cannibalism. The act of consuming human flesh is believed to invoke a curse, causing the person to become possessed by the spirit of a malevolent and insatiable Wendigo. This transformation is often depicted as a punishment for great greed, hunger, desperation, or a disregard for sacred values, resulting in the individual's physical and mental transformation into a monstrous and ravenous creature known as a Wendigo.
