Skinwalkers are just evil shaman, they look just like everyone else. So you'd never be able to identify one.
While wendigo are visibly identifiable, or rather the corpses the wendigo possess are, thanks to them looking like people who died to a combination of stavation and freezing to death and being huge if they've existed for l9ng enough. The fact they only inhabit areas where the ice never melts and only venture south with severe blizzards, you are most likely never going to see one.

no, but they make for very cool folklore and creature concepts. i think some show called Lost Tapes iirc envisioned the jersey devil as a hulking wendigo type creature that kicked doors in, in a single blow

These are not things that need or should be discussed by outsiders. At all. Im sorry if that seems unfair, but thats how our cultures survive.

Dr. Adrienne Keene, Native American academic, writer, and activist

I find it fascinating that the reason there's so little information on the skinwalker (yee naaldlooshii) is because the individuals that have knowledge of them believe in them and fear retribution.

The writer in me loves the idea. Supernatural evil exists, but it hides among reservations where few outsiders travel and no insider will give up its secrets. It's a script that almost writes itself, the outsider looking to do an expos on the supernatural and who finds more than they bargained for. On a more human level though, I respect the wishes of Navajo people (and others) who do not wish to have their cultural beliefs exploited.

You can't really exploit a belief in a fictional creature.
