Great Horned Owls and the Arapaho

This name was provided by Mark Soldierwolf. It is not clear if its a widely accepted name,or simply a description provided by him. Different Arapaho bands often had different names for animals, places, etc, and Mark Soldierwolf noted that he was from a band different from most of the other Arapahos. Many of his place names and bird names are interesting and otherwise undocumented.
