Very nice story. Explains the relationship between Deer and Owls.

Then there is this as well:

Owl: The Owl is a sacred, yet contradictory, bird in Native American mythology. In Kwakiutl myth, when this creature calls, it means someone is going to die. As messenger of death, the owl is not evil, but it can be foreboding. In the Pueblos along the Rio Grande in New Mexico, the owl is definitely a bird of dark omen. In the legendary moccasin game of the Navajo, the old stories tell of how Owl tried to hide the pebble under his wing to ensure that it would always be night. He was, however, caught cheating, and that is why night and day are divided equally.

What we learn is the Owl is:

• A messenger of death.
• Foreboding.
• Dark omen.
• Cheater.
