Totemic Clans

Totemic clans are social groups within Indigenous cultures that are linked by a shared spiritual connection to a specific animal, plant, or natural element called a totem. This totem serves as a symbol of their identity, lineage, and social responsibilities. Members of the clan often have customs and rituals honoring their totem, which fosters a sense of unity and respect for nature. These clans organize social structure, inheritance, and ceremonies, emphasizing a deep relationship with the natural world and maintaining cultural traditions across generations.
