Which article are you evaluating?
Skin-walker

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I've always been interested with this facet of Navajo culture, namely due-in-part to a myth regarding if you say 'Skin-walker' you will 'summon' one to your location.

Evaluate the article
Quite honestly, I firstly went through and accessed the history of the page, reviewing through that. The trails leading up to creating a Wikipedia article seem more invested than I would give it credit for, with different authors all chipping effort in order to make a functional, educational, unbiased, and truthful document for people to read, all using their free time. With further I noticed a general mythos regarding a 'witch', which seems in line with Anglo-American-European depictions and ideas of a 'witch'.

What I also didn't consider is the functionality of incorporating a skin-walker, or other mythos of your culture, and adding it into your own works. This can muddle public recognition and ideals of your culture, all while ignorant of the natives of said culture.

Overall, this is a really good article, which gave me further ideals and a 'grasp' on incorporating cultures within writings, which if I am ever going to become a writer, is good information to realize.
