The Shoshone word for night is dugaani. The word for an owl is mumbichi. The Shoshone would not use these words together, since all the owls they had knowledge of were nocturnal so the term "night owl" would be needlessly stating the obvious; they would simply say mumbichi: owl.

The religious leader of the timucua was this person?

The Timuca tribe saw a owl as a sign for bad luck. If a owl looks into your eye it is bad luck. So is if you scare a owl into flight, its bad luck too. However, if one makes a hunting cry, it is good luck, as if the gods and deamons are having pitty on you. When you see a snake on the other hand, it is always bad luck. That is all I know, hope it helps! :)
