Owl Nature-Spirit of Maliseet
Among the Maliseet-Passamaquoddy (Wabanaki) of the Northeast, the owl appears in story as a being of power: in the legend of the Owl Husband a girl marries the great horned owl, and owl figures also take part in Wabanaki tales. The owl is a story-being and omen, though not the forest nature-spirit guardian the entry claims.
