What tribe is that legend from?

Many tribes and peoples hold that view.

[As with the owls of the ancient Roman statesman Pliny the Elder, many forest owls have played key roles as signalers of death.

In ancient Egypt, India, China, Japan, and Central and North America, owls were the bird of death.

Shakespeare wrote of "The owl, night's herald" (Venus and Adonis, 1593, Line 531) and recognized the role that owls have as the "fatal bellmen" (Macbeth, 1605-1606, Act II, Scene ii, Line 4) of that final deepest sleep. In this way, owls have been seen as harbingers of eschatology or the ultimate fate of humans.]
