According to the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest, there are forces in this world that humans were never meant to know, mysteries better left undisturbed.

The Owl Chief is one such legend. Those who seek its ancient power may discover too late that some paths can’t be retraced.

In this episode, we explore the legend of The Owl Chief. We'll discuss the sacred role of the Chief within coastal Indigenous communities, and how leadership is passed down through generations. We’ll also uncover why owls are seen as powerful omens of death in First Nations stories; symbols of warning, and the thin line between worlds.

Finally, we reflect on the story’s timeless lessons about resisting peer pressure, controlling emotions and pride, and staying grounded amid today’s polarizing politics and social media frenzy.

Have you ever gone too far and realized it only when you couldn’t turn back?

Listen now to uncover what the legends can still teach us today.
