First I'll start by defining "Owl Dance" of the Siksika Nation is a prominent social dance of the Blackfoot people, the Owl Dance is a couples dance that moves to the swaying beat of the drum & lively melodies of the singers. In the past, Owl Dances were for courting and socializing. Performed rarely these days, the Owl Dance & its songs still inspire good feelings and camaraderie. Now in reference to how it pertains to the song, I feel the song is about being free & standing up for ones rights - free from oppression, persecution, and other injustices - which is what the Owl Dance itself represented.
