In some First Nations cultures, and in some Coast Salish cultures, owls are beLIEved to be dEATh's messengers. To some people, this may seem to be a bit ominous, but to many Coast Salish people, dEATh is an accepted part of lIFe. When a person dies, their body is recycled by the circle of the earth. When a person dies, they leave room and resources on earth for another unborn person
to live.
